And How Does Fat Disappear When You Lose Weight?
Hey folks. This is a big question and one that doesn’t really get answered that much. Where does fat actually go? Well I’ll try to keep this in layman’s terms as the whole science can get a little confusing. During weight loss which is predominately fat loss, our fat cells shrink in size as their contents are used for energy in the form of carbon dioxide and water, which leave the body through breathing, urination, and sweating. It’s estimated that 84% of fat loss is exhaled as carbon dioxide through breathing. The remaining 16% of fat is excreted as water because when your body uses fat for fuel, the byproducts of fat metabolism are often excreted through urine.
This is still the same way that the stubborn belly fat leave the body, although belly fat is the most difficult to lose as the fat there is so much harder to break down. Unlike areas such as legs, face and arms, our stomach and abdominal regions possess things called beta cells that makes it difficult to reduce the fats easily and lose weight in these areas.
Your body must dispose of fat deposits through a series of complicated metabolic pathways. The byproducts of fat metabolism leave your body as water, through your skin (when you sweat) and your kidneys (when you urinate) and also as carbon dioxide, through your lungs (when you breathe out).
What Fat Does Your Body Burn First?
The bonus being the fat that you burn first is by the far the most important fat and you will see this in so called ‘skinny fat’ people who have a lot of hard fat that surrounds there organs like the heart, liver and kidneys. They may never put obvious external weight on and these are the people who seem to eat what they want without consequence. However I would go as far to say that these people are more at danger than the person with a big belly. However, once this is gone you will start to lose soft fat like waistline and thigh fat which will make you look slimmer and more toned. The fat loss from around the organs is by far the most beneficial fat to lose regardless of aesthetic aspirations. This fat is the really dangerous fat that you can’t see and its suffocating your organs.
