Scientists finally have answers: Where does fat go when we lose weight?

But have you ever wondered exactly how fat disappears from your body? As part of a study on this subject, scientists have asked health experts a simple question: When we lose weight, where does fat go?

Of the 150 doctors, dietologists and personal trainers surveyed, scientists have said that only three have responded correctly.

Writing about the Conversion, scientific assistant Reuben Meerman and Andrew Brown, professor and leader of biotechnology and biomolecular sciences in the U. NSW, has explained research results and, like health experts interviewed, you will be surprised by what scientists have found.

The most common understanding is that fat is converted to energy. The problem with this theory is that it violates the law of preserving matter, which all chemical reactions” are convinced.

Other respondents have believed that fat is converted into muscles, which is impossible according to scientists.

The other theory is that he leaves his body through his colon but that this theory is also incorrect.

What, though, is the correct answer?

Scientists show that fat is converted into carbon dioxide and water. You release carbon dioxide and water in your circulation until it loses like urine or sweat.

If you lose 20 pounds [10 kg] of fat, exactly 50 pounds [8.4 kg] of them escape through your lungs, and 660 pounds [1.6 kg] turn into water. In other words, almost all the weight that is lost is passed when we release our breathing.
