Where does the lost body fat go?



Today I am going to quote Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. answering this question. She said in her blog mayoclinic.com as " it helps to remember that fat is basically stored energy. Your body converts fat to usable energy for your muscles and other tissues through a series of complex metabolic processes. This causes your fat cells to shrink.

These metabolic activities also generate heat, which helps maintain your body temperature, and waste products. These waste products — water and carbon dioxide — are excreted in your urine and sweat or exhaled from your lungs".
