Where does fat go when you lose weight? The BMJ published short describing how the body releases excess weight. Mass can not be create or destroyed, so how does the complex biochemical process actually release from the body is a rather profound question. Triglycerides are the predominate atoms in the human body, they have to go somewhere. The equation actually looks like this: C55H104O6+78O2 —> 55CO2+52H2O+energy. We metabolize fat into carbon dioxide, water and energy. Human fat required inhaling 29 kilos of oxygen to produce 28 kilos of carbon dioxide and 11 kilos of water, according to the authors, Ruben Meerman, a former physicist turned TV personality/science educator and Andrew Brown, a lipid researcher at the UNSW (The University of New South Wales) figure. Their consensus is that we exhale lost fat. If we exhale more CO2, and we lose more weight. The misconception is often thought by many that fat metabolites are disposed of in feces or converted to muscle, but that is an incorrect assumption according to the researchers.
