Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Where fat goes when you lose weight

Calories are burnt even while you’re asleep or just sitting. That’s because of the chemical processes in your body, called metabolism. The speed of metabolism increases as you move and breathe more air. As you know, you burn more calories if you exercise a lot.

Does that mean the fat in your body burn? It’s a difficult question. Even doctors, dietitians and personal trainers have a misconception of where fat goes, according to a survey. Most of those who answered the survey thought fat is converted to energy.

Surprisingly, fat is converted to carbon dioxide and water. In fact, 84% of fat is exhaled and the rest is urinated or sweated. That’s why an exercise, such as jogging or swimming that makes you breathe harder burns more calories.

Enjoy reading and learn the mechanism of metabolism.
