What Happens to Our Fat When We Lose Weight
Diets and body consciousness have become so popular that at least 43% of people admitted to following a certain diet the last year. However, most of us don’t actually know what happens to our body fat when we get slimmer. In fact, how we eliminate our body fat was also a mystery to a grand parcel of doctors until very recently.
As we at Clamotion never let curiosity go unsolved, and we discovered a group of scientists that found out what really happens to fat that we lose.
Not all fat is eliminated through the bathroom.
A common misconception is assuming that all of our body fat is eliminated through the bathroom. But this study revealed that, in 22 pounds of fat, only 3.5 pounds of it actually turns into water and can be transformed into urine, feces, or other bodily fluids.
It doesn’t turn into energy.
Although the majority of family doctors, dieticians, and personal trainers still think body fat turns into energy, this misconception has already been proven wrong. In fact, our energy is constant over time and can’t be added or removed, respecting the Conservation of Energy law.
