    Your body uses it up in the form of energy??? Sounds right

    WARNING: CHEMISTRY LESSON

    Kind of, but not exactly. The Law of Conversion of Mass dictates mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. In laymen's terms, that means nothing in the universe ever disappears; it simply changes into something else. For example, ice melts into water which evaporates and turns to air, gasoline burns in your car and is released into the atmosphere through in the form of carbon (which is where the whole Global Warming thing comes in since it means we're adding additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere faster than nature can convert it into oxygen through photosynthesis). When your body metabolizes fat, the chemical bonds breakdown and all that's left is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. They then hookup to form two other chemicals: carbon dioxide (CO2, which you release when you exhale) and water (H2O, which your body either gets rid of or uses). You are using fat for energy, but that process only means your body has changed it into something else.


    Ooiiyyy in other words METHANE GAS. so really, its not the Cows who are breaking the ozone layers, its all us MFP'rs farting out the methane gas. :o

    Yep.
    Triglyceride (the predominant fat in your body) is C55H104O6+78O2
    drop the chemical bonds (courtesy of your workin' out) and you're left with 55CO2+52H2O (aka, exhale & water)

    So when some tells you to sweat it out (take a deep breath) they're encouraging your workout ethic.

    I read on MFP that it was the white stuff floating in the toilet after you pee and it looks like chicken fat.

    If this is happening to you it is one of a couple things:
    1. sex with a male partner
    2. you shook it one too may times (males only)
    3. You need to go seek medical help, you should not be peeing chicken fat.

    One theory is: when you work out really hard, you create a really small black hole. Once the black hole is created it will suck in the random fat molecule being displaced by any additional the energy you create. The random fat molecules are transported through a worm hole to another being. If you stop working out, the black hole collapses and random fat molecule return the original individual. It is just a theory though.

    I like this. I may quote you when someone asks me in person how I did it. According to monkey business publishing a small black hole....

    Mine ends up on others around me as I lose it. They always say they find it. Oddly, I seem to add some back on from people I don't even know. it just appears there.

    Untrue!

    According to The World Fat Theorem, of which I am the creator and sole adherent, the total fat in the world is conserved. In other words, fat is not created nor destroyed, rather it is simply moved around from person to person. So, when you lose a pound, another person gains it and vice-versa. This is also why so many people report yo-yo dieting.

    Totally true. I swear. o:)

    You have an early formulator of the World Fat Theorem in Fritz Leiber - anyone who hasn't read his Lankhmar series and might want to, please read no further.



    In SWORDS OF LANKHMAR, the already short Gray Mouser gets shrunk to mini-mini size; there's a time limit on his shrinkage, and when the time comes for him to grow, matter is "adhered" to him from an enormous woman, who becomes enticingly shapely in the process.

    I guess great minds think sort-of alike.

    Breath it out as Carbon Dioxide, and water out in all the ways you may lose water.
    About 84% to 16% ratio of those 2.

    ^THIS^ Simple, direct, and based on the actual science of biochemistry.

    I've never actually wondered where it goes...I kinda just assumed that the fat like dissolved inside your body when you burn more calories than you take in? Hahahaha I have no idea, biology isn't my strong point so don't listen to me :lol:
