Where Does Lost Weight Actually Go?
Original: When you lose weight where does it go? https:// tube.blueben.net/w/pVXJvuYGChj TG1Eme1mRyt
A science explainer is circulating asking a question many people get wrong: when you lose weight, where does the fat actually go? The answer, according to researchers, is that most of it is exhaled as carbon dioxide, with the rest leaving as water through sweat and urine. People online are sharing it as a surprising fact that contradicts the common assumption that weight is simply 'burned off' as energy or heat.
Why now: The counterintuitive science of fat loss being exhaled as CO2 is a shareable, surprising fact.
