What does it mean to lose weight?
When you work out or eat less your overall size decreases. So where does this mass go?
Goes to gym. Breathes for an hour. Heads back home.

"How is stuff leaving your body" "Farts" And they say Einstein is dead
Fat burning byproducts are 2 things: Water and CO2. Water you lose, causes thirst, so you drink enough so it would be the same weight. But the Carbon in CO2 came out of the fat, so you "only" lose weight by losing Carbon.

I don’t know, lost it, can’t find it anymore
I did the math. They’re right. At least 84% of the mass of a human fat molecule (C55H104O6) is contained in the heavier carbon and oxygen atoms, which are ultimately expelled from the lungs as CO2. What I find interesting is that a significant portion of the relatively heavy oxygen atoms your body consumes is actually turned to water in the combustion reaction which means when you look specifically at the products of the reaction, the water component is almost 40% by mass, although a comparatively small amount of that came from the hydrogen in the fat molecule, which makes their statements in the video true.
Damn I woulda guessed heat
Reminds me of your older video that talks about trees getting their mass from "breathing in" CO2. It's full-circle!
One of the many questions of the series I actually knew the answer before watching the entire video, and it makes me proud 😊
How is this not more widely known?
Just like a car: Partly to energy (moving and living) and partly it goes out of the exhaust (breathing)
This channel goes from technology to philosophy 😅 💯
Similar as when you burn a log. The heat is "energy" that is released from the log converting primarily into carbon dioxide/water vapor and put into the air. There is some ash that is left behind, which is a small fraction of the total mass that was the log, but most of that mass was essentially the carbon dioxide rapidly put into the air. So basically it's exhaled carbon dioxide primarily, sweat and waste secondary. It's why weight loss really just comes down to limiting how many logs you are putting on the fire. You can try to make the fire burn hotter to burn the logs faster, but that isn't going to beat limiting how many logs you are throwing on the fire to begin with. Changing what type of log doesn't do too much either as with all these diets try to sell you on, just calories in vs calories out.
The red blouse woman answering very correctly !! She has a big heart ❤️❤️❤️😊
you guys make me feel smart. thanks.

After so much time finally a Post!!
I had such a meta answer pre-loaded: mass turns into energy. Our trapped energy (matter) is expended and freed from our being.
I knew that! Great pub quiz question.
