🤔How Does Fat Leave Your Body? (Science-Based)
How does fat actually leave your body?
Contrary to popular belief, you do not sweat away most of your body fat, but you breathe it out. Based on the calculations of a 2014 research paper, 84% of the fat you lose is turned into carbon dioxide and leaves your body through your lungs by breathing [1].
The remaining 16% becomes water, which can be lost in ways like sweating or other bodily fluids.
This means that we lose most of the fat via breathing. But we should not start heavy breathing for more fat loss. Fat loss is still the result of a calorie deficit. Through your breath is simply the way fat exits the body.
