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 while others think that the fat is somehow excreted or even converted to muscle. Where does it go exactly?
So where does all this fat go when you sweat it out at the gym or spend long hours jogging on the road? Interesting question isn’t it? I’m sure we’ve all wondered where the fat goes after disappearing from our body. Surprising the way that a pair of jeans which earlier didn’t even come close to accommodating you now has a huge gap between your belly and the buckle? Where did all that fat go? This magic is yet another simple yet amazing wonder of the human body, which continues to amaze us every day of our lives.

What actually happens
when you ‘burn’ your
fat after a nice cardio
session or gym workout
is that your body is
actually using these fat
cells for energy, but not
burning them or
converting them to
energy directly.
8. ‘’
The fat is leaving your
body in the form of
carbon dioxide, so you
basically exhale your fat
(according to Andrew
Brown from the
University of New
South Wales).
10. ‘’
Their study shows that
most of the mass lost
goes into thin air! To
metabolize the excess
carbs and proteins
stored in the fat cells,
you need to unlock the
carbon from these cells
and that’s how weight
is lost.
11. ‘’
Sounds crazy but
believable! Their
mantra is simple. If you
want to reduce 10 kgs
of fat, you need to
inhale 29 kgs of
Oxygen, 11 liters of
water and exhale 28
kgs of Carbon Dioxide!
That is some heavy
duty formula.
12. ‘’
So the lungs become
the primary organs for
weight loss now, with
them being responsible
for 84% of the fat loss
that takes place
according to the duo’s
calculations.
13. ‘’
The rest 16% is taken
care of by the excretory
system which lets it out
in the form of sweat,
urine, feces etc.
15. ‘’
If it were that simple
we wouldn’t be the
third ‘Largest’ nation in
the world, pun
intended! Exhaling and
Inhaling more than
normal will lead to
hyperventilation and
you don’t want to be
doing that.

So remember guys,
there are no shortcuts
to success. So work
hard, maintain your diet
and stay tuned. We
may have something
coming up which might
be just what you’re
looking for!
