Where does the fat go when we lose weight

It’s a puzzler that stumps many people: when you lose weight on a diet, where does that weight go? That five pounds you’re proud of shedding, where is it now? What’s it doing and could it be causing any harm, such as to the climate? The question isn’t as crazy as it may sound, although thankfully there is a reassuring answer. The weight can’t just vanish into thin air…or can it? The answer is surprising even for health professionals. A recent survey suggested that more than 90% of doctors and dieticians couldn’t fully explain what happens to all that fat they advise us to lose. Most people can make some intelligent suggestions like it's converted to energy, or it turns into muscle, or you flush it away...no, it's none of those. This video provides the answer and it will almost certainly surprise you because it seems so simple.
