Burning Off Body Fat

We’ve all learned in school that matter cannot be created or destroyed. So when you burn off body fat, where does it go?

—Matthew Bundy, Kankakee, Ill.

Matter can’t be created or destroyed, all right, but it can change form. When your body metabolizes fat, you get energy, carbon dioxide and water. You radiate the heat, you exhale the carbon dioxide and you dispose of the water in urine, sweat and other body fluids. And which of those three (energy, carbon dioxide or water) accounts for most of the weight loss? Surprise! It’s carbon dioxide. So now you have an excuse to fall off your diet: You don’t want to contribute to global warming!
