When you burn fat, where does it go?

I've definitely thought about this before, and glad to see there is an answer thanks to a study by UNSW Australia.

“The correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide. It goes into thin air,” says the study’s lead author, Ruben Meerman.   Ruben Meerman is a physicist and Australian TV science presenter.

But we have to work for it - 

One of the most frequently asked questions the authors have encountered is whether simply breathing more can cause weight loss. The answer is no. Breathing more than required by a person’s metabolic rate leads to hyperventilation, which can result in dizziness, palpitations and loss of consciousness.

So keep dancing, running, doing yoga, staying active.
