Where fat goes when you lose weight

The enlightening facts about fat metabolism

③_______

According to the latest government figures, Americans consume 3.55 kg of food and beverages every day.

If you're hoping to shed some weight, more than 4.lkg will have to go.
Eat less, exhale more
⑤_______ Unfortunately not Hufing and puffing more than you need to will only make you dizzy, or possibly faint. The only way you can consciously increase the amount of carbon dioxide your body is producing is by moving your muscles.
A. Calories in equals energy out.
B. Kilograms in versus kilograms out.
C. The reason we gain or lose weight is much less mysterious if we keep track of all the kilograms, too, not just those calories.
D. So if fat turns into carbon dioxide, could simply breathing more make you lose weight
E. So if not energy muscles where does fat go
F. In other words, nearly all the weight we lose is exhaled.
G. Everything else you swallow is absorbed.
