we ask this question dr carlos a little before. This is what she said.
Yes, in the sense that when you lose some body fat, the atoms that make up that fat (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) leave the same way they entered your body: through your mouth!
(That’s right, the atoms that make up fat cannot disappear or be converted into atomic energy. Vaporizing 10kg of fat releases the equivalent of 10,000 Nagasaki atomic bombs. If you were to lose that fat for about 100 days, you would release the energy of 100 bombs atomic per day, about one every 15 minutes. Your friends couldn’t help but notice that you were losing weight…)
The chemical reactions that occur inside your body, when you burn fat, are (looking at a “typical” triglyceride molecule from fat)
C55H104O6 +78O2 → 55 CO2 + 52 H2O + energy
Suppose you want to lose 10 kg of fat. That means you will have to add 29 kg of oxygen; that’s a lot of breathing, huffing and puffing. And to finish the process, you’re going to get rid of about 28 kg of carbon dioxide and 11 kg of water. And how are you going to get rid of these 39 kg of carbon dioxide and water?
Overwhelmingly, exhaling it.
You may lose a small amount of this water as sweat or urine. But the vast majority of those atoms that originally made up the triglyceride molecules left the mouth and nose as carbon dioxide and water. However, you must breathe a lot: each breath removes only 33 mg of carbon dioxide.
This means that its main excretory organ is its pair of lungs. And your lungs send it through your nose and mouth
But can you unlock the carbon in your fat cells and lose weight simply by breathing more? About …
The most effective way to breathe more often is to exercise. So eat less and move more.
