Here is a page with cross-sections. Cross-sections = Science.
When we lose weight, where does the lost weight go?

You seek a simple answer to a complex question:

Not a science nerd - just trying a purely speculative common sense analysis - you eat at a calorie deficit so that you are taking in less "food fuel" than your body is burning - during the day when your are eating regularly you are burning your food fuel - but at night you take in none - so for some period of time in your last hours of sleep and the time before breakfast you have burned off all of yesterday food fuel and your body has to convert body mass to fuel you through your deficit until you begin taking in calories at breakfast
So, I'd say you are probably burning off mass for an hour or two before breakfast.

Your body is constantly either storing or oxidizing fat...0

It occurs right after morning stinky and tinkle0

when you put nothing down your gullet.0

was looking for the joke in there. Couldn't find it. Did i miss something or did you answer this question seriously?
You are one of the few my friend. And i agree. That is most likely how it's done. Once you've blown past the calories you've eaten that day and started burning more than that, you are burning off the excess stored fat immediately. All the little fluctuations and weird numbers on the scale are just water retention0 -
I do alternate day fasting. I never lose weight after a fast day, it's always 2 days later after a normal eating day.
I've also recently incorporated 16:8 where you fast for 16 hours, I go for a max of 20 hours. As everything I've read says optimal fat burning time is between 14-16 hours after your last meal, (no food/calories for 16hrs) And lo and behold my weight loss has sped up without reducing my calories!0 -
your body is constantly storing and burning fat, 'fat loss' occurs when net oxidation is greater than storage, and generally happens within a few hours, so yes you would have essentially already lost fat that same day0

National Geographic asked the hypothetical, "What would happen if all the people disappeared off the face of the earth?". An immediate effect would be a drop in temperature world-wide. Each of us gives off about as much heat as a sixty-watt light bulb (poor light bulb; it is quickly disappearing).
It gave me a new image of us as human beings. We're little sixty watt heat furnaces walking around, burning off the energy we consume. All the time.

The end products of fat metabolization are water and carbon dioxide. When you lose the water and C02, you've lost the fat weight.
Yep.
