Where does fat go when you lose weight?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

When you consume fewer calories or exercise, your body turns to fat reserves for energy. Once fat is metabolised to give energy, its byproducts leave the body through skin as sweat, through kidneys as urine and through lungs as carbondioxide as you breathe out.

I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I've been struggling with being very thin and weak. I've tried so many ways to gain weight and even make sure to have my meals on time. But nothing seems to change; my weight is always the same. I really want to put on a little weight and become a bit healthier. Can you give me some trusted advice on how I can gain weight easily and quickly?

To gain weight healthily, focus on consuming more calories than you burn; try: eating smaller, frequent meals, incorporating calorie-dense foods like nuts, dried fruits, avocados, and full-fat dairy products, adding healthy fats and oils to your meals, strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and consider consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist for personalized guidance.

What can I eat at night to lose weight?

It's not just what you eat at the night that helps in weightloss but the overall calorie intake throughout the day matters. Keep your dinner small, protein rich and light and give 2 hr gap between dinner and bed time.

I've been trying to work on reducing my fat and losing weight, so I started drinking lemon and honey with water. I'm not sure when the best time is to drink it. I usually have it after brushing my teeth and using the toilet in the morning. Is that right, or should I be drinking it before brushing and using the toilet? Can you help me figure this out?

It is generally recommended to drink lemon and honey water on an empty stomach, ideally before brushing your teeth and using the toilet. This allows for better absorption of the nutrients and may help in weight loss. So, it would be better to drink it before brushing and using the toilet in the morning.
