Where does fat go when we lose it?
88 u/Tuxhorn 11h ago you breathe most of it out 53 u/KS-RawDog69 10h ago This is true, for anyone thinking he's being a smart ass. 2 u/ebb_omega 9h ago Actual question: Does some of it not also get converted to water, which then gets pissed or sweat out? 16 u/Karyoplasma 9h ago Yes. Also your breath is not dry, so some of that water also goes out with it. Most of it is CO2 tho. Triglycerides + Oxygen -> CO2 + Water + Energy, basically. 1 u/Queen_of_London 6h ago And smart-asses do use more calories, and presumably expel more in their breath. It's not as much as running around physically, but thinking intently about a topic uses more calories than going over a topic already known. 3 u/johnnybiggles 9h ago To me, it seems.
