    Most "burned" fat is expelled as carbon dioxide when you exhale. That's where the fat "goes".

    Weird but true.

    Why is this weird? It is perfectly logical.

    It IS logical. But it goes against what most people have thought over the years. Maybe it's just weird to ME.

    I guess this is my high school biology talking - but when carbon and hydrogen bonds are broken they release energy, CO2 and H2O. Those bonds can be in the form of sugar, or fat, but either way the "product" of work done in the body is energy, carbon dioxide and water.

    Fat cells never go away. They shrink, but once they're formed theyre there forever. I guess the exception would be if you had a procedure like lipo done, then you lose fat cells. Drink all the water you like...but you will still have the fat.


    Nope.

    Cellular death. Apoptosis. Adipose cells die every minute of every day. Up to 10% a year.

    They are replaced, though, but they do die and are not there "forever".

    This. She's right, you know. Your fat isn't actually "burned". It is metabolized as carbon dioxide and exhaled.

    That seems like an abusive response. I'd expect more from a mod.

    you're doing it wrong. Remember, fat is hydrophobic ("hates" water). To wash it away, you need to use a surfactant with the water.

    Drink soapy water. Extra-strength grease-fighting detergent works best, like Palmolive or Joy. If you're into an organic or vegetarian diet you probably should use Biovert or Green works.

    I am not sure if this is paleo-friendly.

    Seriously.

    And now I'm picturing all this dead fat floating around my body, just waiting to be washed away. It's an interesting, but disturbing image.
