Just read a very interesting article.
http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/where-does-your-fat-go-when-you-lose-weight
“The correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide.” "It goes into thin air.”
Basically, we breathe out all the fat we burn.

It becomes energy to run the body, and water, and CO2.

So everyone has been breathing it out, and I have been inhaling it in.

I think it's been posted about six times today. It's been making the rounds on the major news sites, so of course it's going to end up here multiple times.

For some reason the famous response is missing but several people quoted it on page one, so I guess it lives on.

You pee ~60% of it out, since fat has water like the rest of you.chivalryder wrote: »Just read a very interesting article.

I am so confused....if we exhale our fat into the atmosphere wouldn‘t it make it fat air? I would also like to know when all the fat free food is going to drop my body fat? ;-}0

Was I the only one who went straight to "The fat just walks away" ? Adipose anyone?0

Can you send me a link for the fat walk? Is it a stroll or more along the lines of a 5k or possibly an Ironman?
