Where does the fat go?

_Schatzi_

Interesting article on the metabolic fate of fat. I had read on here before that your fat cells shrink, but you never loose them. These guys have a different answer.

Such a good article, and I have to believe that when I am working out really hard and panting, those calories are flying out!

Wow. In the last year I have literally spent hours reading on this topic, I actually made it to the end of the Google search, I didn't even know it could end, and that link is just so bad.

You should link it. Sounds fun.

The thing that's the last in the google search you talked about.

The article says nothing about losing fat cells. It says triglycerides are taken OUT of the cells (which, incidentally, do remain).

You don't lose the cells, just the contents of them.

Isn't it peed out and looks like chicken fat?

I just looked it up again but I don't remember the specific wording I searched. I usually run several searches within themselves to narrow down what I can find that's relevant. I put in the basic one I probably would have started with just now and it went to Page 34. Last link, some magnesium stuff. 2nd to last link, George Zimmermann. That makes no sense.

I can definitely understand why someone would get magnesium and George Zimmermann confused. They have the same number of syllables and everything.

The search was "do fat cells go away". Maybe someone wants Zimmerman to go away.

Hmm. George Zimmerman is kind of fat. Also, a lot of people wanted him to be locked AWAY in a CELL.
