Pardon? Are you talking about fat or fat cells? Either way it's not
true.

which is why weight loss involves liquid loss
especially in the first period of loss.

Water loss is usually attributed to breakdown of glycogen, a very
osmotically-active molecule, reducing the attraction for water.

So the question here is why
should the saturated fats cause retention and not the less saturated
forms.

It's trans fats not saturated fats that were being tested and caused
retention. Trans fatty acids are unsaturated.
