/sci/ when you lose weight, where does the weight go?

>>8616887
Feces

>>8616887
Semen

>>8616887
It's made into energy mostly ATP or proteins for cells and a lot of lactic acid

>>8616896
If it's just transformed then how does the mass decrease?

>>8616887
Heat/kinetic energy

>>8616898
It's used, energy is turned into liquid waste and usually carbon dioxide

>>8616899
You mean that multple pounds of mass are converted into energy? Wouldn't this be like an antimatter bomb big enough to crater an entire continent?

>>8616902
You don't lose weight pounds at a time you lose it ounces and grams at a time turning into energy slowly which is why you don't feel it until you notice

Basically, you breathe it out.

>>8616898
it turns into CO2 and you breath it out as this anon said. >>8616900

Energy is destroyed and converted into mass. E=MC^2

>>8616902
The energy comes from chemical bonds being broken, not the atoms themselves being annihilated. Once the bonds are broken the atoms and molecules are removed as body waste or in your breath

Actually, when working out you don't lose mass, you just gain negative mass.

This. You should also have a diet of ~90% antimatter.

loosing weight produces C02

Does that mean fat people are saving the planet?

Basically, glucose and other forms of it are used by your body to generate atp. In the process, C and 2 O are "cleaved" off the carbon backbone and travel through the bloodstream as CO2 until its breathed out
T. Biochem class

No because they produce methane which is worse.

no
