Where did my roll go?

Most people get on the scale to measure their weight loss progress. Me...I actually count my back rolls. I'm down a roll! Ohhhh Yeaaahhh! Or for some people....they try on their skinny jeans. Whatever your method for determining if your dieting and exercise is paying off, do you ever wonder where the fat actually goes? I mean we hear the term "burn" the fat. But where does the melted fat go? 

Well I did some research and here's what the Mayo clinic says:

When you burn more calories than you consume, your body uses fat (triglycerides) for energy. This causes your fat cells to shrink. In turn, triglycerides are broken down into two different substances — glycerol and fatty acids — which are absorbed into your liver, kidneys and muscle tissue. From there, the glycerol and fatty acids are further broken down by chemical processes that ultimately produce energy for your body. These activities generate heat, which helps maintain your body temperature. The resulting waste products — water and carbon dioxide — are excreted in urine and sweat or exhaled from your lungs. [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/body-fat/AN01327]

So to sum up...fat turns into heat and then whatever is left over comes out in your urine, sweat, and breath. So now we know and this underscores the importance of drinking lots of water everyday to help your body remove the fat through our URINE. It's key to exercise to remove the fat through our SWEAT.  We have to breathe deeply and fully to push the fat out through our BREATH.    

Take good care of yourself.
