Where Does Weight Go When You Lose It?
You’ve heard weight loss is all about calories in and calories out. But where does weight go when you lose it?
It’s not that we want to pine over lost fat—I mean, it’s over. Don’t call. Don’t text. Don’t drive by late at night. It’s over, fat. Move on.
But…we can’t help but wonder—where does the fat you lose GO when it finally goes?
Many people think we sweat it out. Others think we evacuate it (that’s a nice way of saying we donate it to the porcelain bowl.)
But how? What happens to fat when we lose it?
We were just as perplexed as you—so we found out.
Where Does Weight Go When You Lose It?
Burning fat is a simple way of summing up some super complicated biochemical processes that take place in the body. So, here’s a little refresher from science class.
Excess proteins and carbs are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells. So fat cells get stuffed bigger and bigger with excess food, and as such your love grips and muffin tops also get bigger. To get rid of it, the triglyceride must be oxidized. This involves TONS of steps but the end result, published in the British Medical Journal is this:
C55 H104 O6 +78 O2→ 55 CO2 + 52 H2O + energy
What does this mean?
WHERE DOES THE WEIGHT GO WHEN YOU LOSE IT??
Well, in pertinent part, to burn or oxidize, say, 22 pounds of fat, you must inhale 63 pounds of oxygen so that it can be ‘breathed out.’
Yes, you heard that right. Fat is breathed out as carbon dioxide and water.
Your lungs are fat breathers.
So what does that mean?
You must inhale nearly 3x as much air in weight that you want to lose.
How Do I Increase My Weight Loss?
Well, for the average bear, you exhale twelve breaths per minute just at rest. If you exercise for that one hour, you increase your metabolic rate sevenfold by increasing breathing.
But, on the flipside, something as small as a candy bar can wipe out that increased metabolic rate because it can take up a large part of the daily energy expended. So if you exercised enough to breathe out a quarter pound of fat, but you consumed the same—you stay the same.
Something that small can throw a wrench in your plans to breathe your pounds away.
So, what you’ve been told all your life isn’t necessarily wrong, but it isn’t RIGHT. Fat is not converted to energy and sweat out or excreted via waste. It’s breathed out.
Increase how many breaths you take and you’ll increase fat oxidization—but you need to complement that strategy with smart food choices.
So we’re back to the same ol’ thing: exercise and eat right and you will lose weight.
You know what it’s the ‘same ol’ thing? Because it works.
Boom.
Increase Your Fat Loss
Now that you know where does weight go when you lose it—you need to mobilize fat and oxidize it through breathing. You can do this through exercise and thermogenesis. Yep—we harnessed the power of knowledge and created a lil’ something to make your fight for fat loss a little faster. Increase the amount of available fat to breathe out with CapsiLean. As a natural thermogenic, it burns calories AND blocks carbs and burns fat. Get it here and get breathing out some fat.
