What have you Really Learned about your Diet and how it affects your Body?

Wait, so apples and strawberries are leaving my body eventually but other fruits like, say, apricots or raspberries, won't?

I want to know more about the fat leaving my body via my breathing. If I can breathe myself thin I can sell my dumbbells and stop stressing about my trick ankle!

I was with you for the first two sentences.

One does not, and physiologically cannot, pass fat in urine. All caps does not constitute proof.

The rest of your word salad is giving me ideas for a weekend meal within my calorie budget, and it will be part of a successful weight loss journey.

Fat is actually converted to carbon dioxide and breathed out. The carbon dioxide that you breath out comes from the food you eat (all food, not this...interesting list). When you eat less, you are putting less carbon atoms in your body so you lose weight as body fat is converted to carbon dioxide and breathed out...essentially, you're breathing out more carbon than you're taking in.

This list is kinda weird though...and it's not just breathing in and out with exercise. Anytime you breath out you are expelling carbon dioxide.

ETA: personally, I think it's easier to speak of this in terms of energy, even though that's not what's really happening...but I think it makes more sense to most people.

I'm on a liquid diet for medical reasons as it is EASIER to digest meaning my body absorbs MORE calories from it as compared to eating the non liquid version of it.

There's a really good video series about how fat loss works here:

Oh, I see the OP was edited to make all of the commenters up until now look stupid while I was typing. One of my least favorite trolling tactics.

when oxygen reaches the fat molecules stored in the body; it breaks them down into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then picked up in the blood, which transports it to the lungs for exhalation.

Oxygen Rich Foods
Lemons.
Avocadoes, Berries, Carrots, Currants, Ripe Bananas, Celery, Garlic, Dates.
Alfalfa Sprouts, Apricots and Sweet Apples.
Sweet Grapes and Pears, Passion Fruit, Raisins, Pineapple, Vegetable Juices.
Fruit Juices, Chicory, Kiwis.
Asparagus, watercress and sea weed

CO2-Emissions (in g CO2e per kg food):
Food group Food CO2-Emissions (in g per kg food)
Meat and sausages Ham (pork) 4'800
Poeltry 3'500
Pork 3'250
Milk- and dairy products Butter 23'800

(the same process used by plants and algae), This process uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce oxygen and glucose (sugars) for energy.

Pure carbon cannot be transported in the body, so CO2 is one form it takes that is water soluble. When CO2 is breathed into the lungs, it dissolves in the water there, diffuses across the alveolar-capillary membrane, and enters the bloodstream. Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Energy, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Energy~

You're quoting, at least in part, a website that promotes their own "Hallelujah" diet. Here's what quackwatch had to say about it: https://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/malkmus.html This is not good science. It is not solid information. It is a bad source. It is not someone you should be listening to or passing information along for. This is why people think weight loss is so hard and good health is so impossible, because quacks like this are out to make a buck or two at the expense of people who don't know any better.

tl;dr version: Learn to vet your sources.

I don't know, but everything in this post comes directly from the first result in google every time. I think it's time for a Turing test.

Turing, I believe.

That's what I was looking for.

I am just a old women with a limited experiences, I am Reading, and doing more reading, I post what I read on Your Generational Equipment. In my days we had a Paper, Pencil with a Text Book and Teacher. Today You have a device that Double Talks everything everyone writes or says. No one is ever right! No one has answers if they did they would not be here trying to lose weight we would all be fit and trim. We would all be healthy and fit. I am searching and trying to find ways to better my diet. When you have limited skills, no money, no transportation except two feet you have to rely on a 27" monitor with a Tower and hope one can find something to help them!

I am doing the best I can! I am not a Robot just a Old uneducated women from the 1960's.

quiksylver296 · May 2018

Some of us have found the answer. (And we're not all here to lose weight. We might be here for other reasons, like tracking our fitness.)

The answer is eat fewer calories in a day than your body needs, and you will lose weight.

Make your diet mostly healthy foods,and some treats, and find what foods satiate you.

There are no magic CO2 foods. There are no magic pills. There are no magic drinks. There are no magic [insert whatever diet thing you've ever heard].

It's not complex.

A lot of the people on these forums aren’t ‘trying to lose weight’. They have succeeded, and are hanging around here to pass on what they have learned to others. (I don’t consider myself one of their number yet, but after losing 220 lb I reckon I’ve learned a thing or two about how weight loss works)

Others may not have lost weight, but they sure as heck understand how biology works. Do you really think that because someone eats too many calories, they can’t understand biology?

And anyway, if you’re just an old uneducated woman with limited experience who is looking for something to help them, why are you making bold statements about human biology rather than, say, asking for advice?

I have never heard of the Hallelujah diet before!

I am going back in time looking at the Oldest Cookbooks for the last year to see what they have eaten! I am trying to make my diet Fun and at the same time learn something on the way! I only post what I have learned.

Yes I use Googles to find my information, I have no other means avalibule to me. A computer just like everyone else. To search it and I do a lot of PDF that is all I personaly know how to do! I never even had a comptuer until I was in my 40's and I'm only 57yrs old so that is not very long. 17 yrs? with no schooling or training. It is a device to read, type and play games, watch tv and have social contact. That is all I know, I found this place to help me lose weight but I am not fitting in that is for sure! Nothing I say or do is right to anyone~ I am very sorry I just don't get all this. I am doing the best I can. I really am sorry!
