How do you actually lose body fat? You breathe it out!!! When stored fat is broken down, the carbon atoms are converted into CO₂ and exhaled through your lungs. In fact, most of the fat mass you lose leaves your body as carbon dioxide—not through sweat. Fat → CO₂ + H₂O The better your aerobic fitness, mitochondrial function, and ability to utilize oxygen, the more efficiently you can oxidize fat. Every exhale is part of the fat loss process. You’re not just burning fat. You’re breathing it out. #fatlossjourney #weightlossthatworks #metabolism #mitochondria #zone2
