Having a discussion at work today & we where trying to decide what happens
to the fat in your body that is burned up through weightloss????

Is it really just burned up

Is it secreted out of the body through sweating etc..

Or is it just naturally removed through the waste cycle????

Answers on a postcard please ;-)



I wish I had my college biology book handy.

I like the previous post for the most simplistic answer.
"matter converted to energy"

Think of it this way...

When you put 1 cup of water into a sauce pan over a heat source then watch
while it heats to a boil and let it sit - what happens to the water? Where
does it go?

Similar things happen to fat in the body when you consume at a caloric
deficit to your bodies needs.
