in Health and Weight Loss
When you loose weight, what happens to the weight you loose? Where does the fat you loose go?

    Me too. It should be a sticky if it's not already. I haven't checked to see.

    But I wonder thought, why aren't we counting carbon mass instead of calories?

    As weird as it sounds you actually lose weight (fat) through your breathing when dieting! Sounds weird, I know, but it’s oxidized as a carbon emission from the body! Look it up!!

    The carbon mass is measured when you step on your bathroom scale. Our weight is the total mass of all of the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen (plus other elements) accelerated due to Earth's gravitational field. As shown in the TED talk video, a great deal of mass from weight loss exits our body as we exhale carbon dioxide molecules.


    The energy stored in the bonds between carbon and other atoms is measured in calories.
