We commonly think that when we work out, we burn fats by simply converting these fats into heat energy or breaks into small parts then excretes them afterward. The more sweat we have, the more fats we burned. Sadly, many experts like nutritionists and health enthusiasts believed on these misconceptions. In fact, most fats "burned" are exhaled and only a small amount are excreted in liquid form.

When we eat too much protein or carbohydrates, these excess molecules are stored in adipose tissues or simply fats. This tissue is composed of adipocytes or fat cells, filled with molecules, Triglycerides which is made of three kinds of atoms, chemically bonded – carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These bonded elements are great storage for energy. However, when we "burn" fat, these chemically bonded triglycerides are being oxidized so it releases more than 80% of carbon dioxide and 20% dihydrogen monoxide (water) in a form of sweat, urine, tears, or any bodily fluids. For instance, if you want to lose 10 kgs. you must inhale 29 kgs. of oxygen to do the "burning fat" process or oxidation process to produce 28 kgs. of carbon dioxide and 11 kgs. of water. ([39 of kgs CO2 and H20] – [29 kgs of O]) = 10 kgs. BURNED!!!!

So, to lose weight is NOT TO HYPERVENTILATE but to eat less carbon or exercise more to remove extra carbon from our body.
