    The fat breaks down to release chemical energy. Your body metabolises and passes the remainder.

    If you have a particular kind of fish, or too much oil for your body to handle, you might poop fat out. My son did this when he ate an entire can of cashews in one sitting. Bright orange oil floating in the toilet - very disconcerting!

    Sigh. You are all SO misguided. Poor heathens.

    Fatness is a punishment from the Divine Flying Spaghetti Monster. We have all displeased him in some way. And the only way to lose weight is to perform the appropriate rituals of repentance. In his Infinite Wisdom, our deity has provided several different rituals for those of different temperaments. You could practice the Treading of the Mill, or the Holy Contortions of Yoga, or submit yourself to the Torturers (sometimes called "Aerobics Instructors") at one of his Sacred Temples (also known as "gyms").

    If your Ritual Humiliations have found favor with His Noodly Goodness, he shall visit you in your sleep and shave the pounds from your body with his Holy Cheese Grater.

    I hope this has enlightened you all. May the Sauce be with you. RAmen.

    You are quite wise.... Also, for those who are "noodle intolerant" I think the Parmesan Fairy sprinkles a little into your potty so that you TOO can see the fat leaving your system.

  • I have a theory on this...For every pound I lose someone else has to find it. The earth has to stay balanced, so If I lose a pound someone has to get it otherwise the world would like spin backwards or something...lmao

    With regards to the second part, it doesn't become nothing as such, but is converted into energy, which is lost/expended as heat amongst other things including kinetic energy... (scavenging the remnants of my science lessons from oh so many years ago here!)

    ^exactly. Just like a gallon of gasoline "disappears" into heat energy to be used as fuel. Fat does the same thing for your body.

    when you are burning fat look for when thing when you go to toilet to pee you will notice something white in your pee is like chicken fat thats how some of your fat comes out

    If you have chicken fat in your pee, you may need to see a doctor...

    EDIT: Looks like about 50 people already said this before me....

    It goes from you off through time and space to settle in a new home on the butt of some guy at McDonald's eating fries...:wink:

    Funny stuff ya'll.
  • Some responses have had me laughing so hard I can't see the screen for tears. Thank you for brightening my day.

    On the serious side, the scientists who have posted on the previous pages - these are the responses that are the ones to read, read and read again. As fitness instructors we get this bit drilled in to us. I could go on ad infinitum about ATP/ADP energy exchange but I think those other posters put it wonderfully.

    well you can stay at maintainance at burn 500 cals a day n you will lose a pound every week.
    2nd ques when you are burning fat look for when thing when you go to toilet to pee you will notice something white in your pee is like chicken fat thats how some of your fat comes out n some as a sweat. because when i did a diet few years back when the white thing came in pee i got scared that its something serious but found out its nothing just fat so a doctor knows best.

    So THIS is why drinking water helps you lose weight...the more water you drink, the more you pee, so the more fat can leave your body...good to know :huh:

    Seriously, you'd think that with all the resources we have available to us, people would not be THIS misinformed. And that doctor...how did he/she ever get a license to practice medicine?! :grumble:
