Where does weight actually GO when you lose weight?

[gottalosethatweight]

One unfortunate thing is that fat cells never disappear....they just shrink. So those who have been overweight have to work even harder to stay thin.

does this mean that your metabolism doesnt determine the "rate" at which your body coverts the energy? isnt the "rate" determined by how fast you decide to move?

[AppleSouffle]

Checkmateproductions, with weight lose, the rate of fat burning is mostly determined by how much you restrict insulin. I've read it's a bad idea to lose weight too fast because it stresses the body somehow.

That's from Eat Fat, Get Thin by Barry Groves.

Your body needs glucose, which it either gets from carbs or fats. Despite all the pro carb propaganda, it's much healthier to eat a high fat diet than a high carb diet.

I think the real key point is that we breathe out the mass when we lose weight. Yes, we sweat and pee out the water. But, everyone knows that water has no calories, (even though the hydrogen and oxygen are clearly components of fat). But, because of it's non-caloric value, we might not be as interested in keeping track of the H2O

It's the pesky carbon which we need to keep track of. And yes, we breathe the carbon out in the form of CO2. We're like furnaces that way.
