This is where your body fat goes when you lose weight

I thought this may be interesting for some of you who are curious like I am...I use to always wonder...now I know:laugh:

When you consume fewer calories than your body needs, your body turns to fat for energy. Your fat cells (triglycerides) provide the fuel for this energy.

Through a series of complex metabolic processes, triglycerides are broken down into two different components — glycerol and fatty acids — which are absorbed into your liver, kidney and muscle. Here, these components are further broken down by chemical processes that ultimately produce energy for your body.

The heat generated through these activities is used to help maintain your body temperature. The waste products that result are water and carbon dioxide. You excrete water primarily in urine and sweat and carbon dioxide in air exhaled from your lungs.

Well, after some careful thought, I figure if I exhale enough fat for long enough, eventually I'll start breathing fire!

Good thing to keep in mind when I am sweating and panting like crazy during a hard workout! I've wondered this myself.

You mean there isn't a Fat Fairy that comes takes it in the middle of the night??? Next thing you are going to tell me is that the Tooth Fairy isn't real....

The Tooth Fairy is real. So is Santa, the Easter Bunny, and Leprechauns. And just to set the record straight: Satan invented the double stuffed oreo. God invented the treadmill
