How do we remove excess fat from our body?

A lot of things are written about fat burning. But the most important things is always overlooked. If you can't breathe well, you can't burn fat. Why? I'm waiting for your ideas

Fat loss is through a calorie deficit.5

Burning fat happens when a person consumes less energy (calories) than they require to maintain the status quo. Body fat is just stored energy...when someone consumes less energy than they require, fat stores are oxidized to make up the difference. Pretty easy-peezy.5

Fat is exhaled as CO27

Fat is excess stored energy. You lose it by using it. If you create a calorie deficit (eat slightly less food than you burn) you will use it.
If you struggle to breath it would probably impact your daily movement. If that is the case you would have less calories to work with which can be a hindrance but would not prevent fat loss in a calorie deficit. Nothing aside from God can prevent the use of stored energy in a calorie deficit except death.1 -
If you're not breathing, you don't get the oxygen needed as part of the biochemical process of burning fat (burning is oxygenation, requires oxygen). Also, if you stop breathing for very long, you're dead, and dead people don't burn fat.
Since one does get oxygen when wearing a (normal) mask, the mask thing is a side trip, no matter who's driving the bus.6 -
2 ways. Liposuction and having a calorie deficit. Lots of people breathe fine. You can see a lot of lean people with breathing problems (IE smokers, asthmatics, COPD, etc.) so while breathing is where excess fat is expelled when in a calorie deficit, just breathing alone isn't what is going to help you lose fat.

As someone who is constantly struggling to breathe due to allergies and lifelong sinus issues I have had no issue in losing 29lbs and keeping it off for two years5

To be more reasonable (IMO) than my initial response:
If the underlying claim is that people who have a breathing difficulty inherently have trouble losing weight solely because of that breathing difficulty's impact on how they burn calories, I'm a skeptic. Possible that they have *some* calorie expenditure difficulty, but probably the majority of it would be from movement inclinations/limitations caused by the breathing difficulty, not from the breathing difficulty's impact on BMR/RMR, it seems like. I admit I'm speculating, not relying on published research.
Truth in advertising: I'm a li'l ol' lady with - they tell me - early stage COPD, but zero limitations currently caused by that condition, as far as I can tell. I burn calories fine, lose weight equally fine.5 -
This is what happened. She originally posted her OP in a foreign language, I think Greek? She quickly changed it to English. I think the poster is not an English speaker. I just happen to catch it when she first posted.6

Most people I know with major breathing difficulty tend to be thinner than average - or necessarily desirable. I think some of the theory is that breathing is harder work, mechanically, so they tend to burn MORE calories breathing than the other way around.1 -

@L1zardQueen Thank you for helping folks understand that it seems the OP's message is getting possibly entirely lost in translation.
From her group (translation)Nutrition is personal. However, we should know the basic nutrients, reading labels, the relationship between breathing and weight, cooking techniques and many more and draw our own path.
While I am not clear on the OP's intent I think an anti-mask debate was not it. I have cleaned up the discussion a bit.
@yesimkaya it seems we might not quite be following what you are asking. If you make it back here please try again to share what you were trying to convey.
Folks unless you feel like you grasp their question and have insights to offer, let's wait until the OP comes back to provide additional context.9 -
Using your body fat stores as a primary energy source either through deficit and/or using body fat as that primary energy source through the absence of glycogen.0
