Where does it go? Do they pack their bags and catch another victim off guard?

My hope is it finds all the people who are cruel and degrading to the obese! Let them live in our shoes and see how horrible you already feel without their assistance!

It's funny you say that. I had a really good friend years ago who had major issues with overweight and obese people. She got the attitude from her mother, who once told me (when I was about the size I am now, by the way) that if she was as big as I was, she "would never leave the house".

Anyway, she went on to have children, and 2 out of the 3 of them have weight issues. I am no longer friends with this person (for obvious reasons), but I can't help thinking what must be being said to those poor kids.

I just found it kind of ironic that people with such weight biases end up having overweight children. Karma, I guess

Wasn't it Eistein who said that matter can neither be created nor destroyed? Makes you wonder for sure where all those fat molecules go when we are done with them.

We talk a lot about dieting and burning off fat, but we actually have a lot of misconceptions about weight loss. Some people think fat is converted into energy or heat—a violation of the law of conservation of mass—while others think that the fat is somehow excreted or even converted to muscle. I was told early on that you can never lose your fat cells (adipose) once you gain them...they just shrink if you work it off.

When you lose weight, you exhale your fat. There is surprising ignorance and confusion about the metabolic process of weight loss, The correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide. It goes into thin air.

Excess carbs and Proteins are converted into chemical compounds called triglycerides (which consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) and then stored in the lipid droplets of fat cells. To lose weight, you’re attempting to metabolize those triglycerides, and that means unlocking the carbon that’s stored in your fat cells.

Losing 10 kilograms of human fat requires the inhalation of 29 kilograms of oxygen, producing 28 kilograms of carbon dioxide and 11 kilograms of Water. That’s the metabolic fate of fat. Turns out, our lungs are the primary excretory organ for weight loss. What remains becomes water, which is excreted in urine, feces, sweat, breath, tears, and other bodily fluids.

You beat me to the answer. Love your research. Im obsessed with knowing what, when, where and why.

LOL! Loving this post..... Thanks for a smile all. Have a great weekend my skinny friends! XOXO

I think all the fat and inches wind up in the same place as all the missing pairs to socks - some kind of clothes dryer Bermuda Triangle thing going on! Spooky!!

Great answer!

I usually just think of it as pee, tears, sweat, and breathing. It consoles me when I am living in the bathroom and boo-hooing my eyes out.

Metaphorically, I also remind myself that "words are units of energy" when I journal.

So.........sweat is fat crying.

They go down the toilet! @@Miss Mac

Wow! Guess I'll embrace sweating then. Thanks!!!
