Question

Where does the weight go once you lose it?

In: Biology

Answer 1

I’m not an expert but the body fat gets turned into triglycerides which is like the liquid form of solid fat and released from the fat storage cell into the bloodstream. Then the body can process that into usable energy in the mitochondria of other cells think of them as little bacterial sized engines. I don’t know the specific process to break apart the triglycerides but when the body breaks it up the remaining parts are water and carbon dioxide. So the actual weight comes out as pee, sweat, tears etc and your breath.
