Weight loss isn't about shedding overall weight but rather reducing excess fat.

"Sweat is the tears of fat."

Fat is composed of three elements: oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon.

When metabolizing the same mass of fat and glucose, it's found that fat requires more oxygen and also releases more energy.

How does fat decrease?

Fat + O₂⮕ CO₂ ÷ H₂O ÷ ATP

Source of fat-degrading enzymes: Proteins

Source of coenzymes: Vitamins, minerals

Does fat turn into sweat?

"Sweat is the tears of fat."

This phrase encourages many friends who want to lose weight through exercise.

However, in reality, the relationship between sweating and fat isn't so direct.

Sweating is primarily a means for the body to regulate temperature.

Fat breakdown occurs mainly after exercising for over 30 minutes.

Does fat turn into muscle?

Fat doesn't turn into muscle! It's like oil and water—they can't mix.

Similarly, two different types of cells cannot transform into each other.

Purpose of exercise: To shrink fat cells and make muscle fibers larger and stronger, resulting in a tighter and more attractive appearance.

Where does fat go?

The lungs are the primary organs through which the body expels fat; up to 80% of fat is exhaled through our daily breathing!

When fat is consumed, it converts into carbon dioxide and water.

Water is primarily excreted through breathing, the skin, and excretion.

Therefore, 84% of the by-products of fat consumption are exhaled through breathing, while the remaining 15% is excreted through sweat.
