Question

A man interested in losing weight and increasing his fitness followed a strict diet and exercise regimen for three months. Body fat analysis indicated that the man had lost 7 kg (about 15 pounds) of fat by following this exercise and diet program. What is the most likely form by which the fat left his body?

Answer 1

Answer: It will be released as carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

The body tends to stores excess carbs or protein in an individuals's diet as fat, which are known as triglyceride molecules, that mostly consist of three types of atoms, these are hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. For individuals to lose the weight, the triglycerides will break into the building blocks, which tends to happens in a procedure referred to as oxidation.

When the triglyceride is oxidized , the procedure tends to consumes as many molecules of oxygen as possible while on the other hand producing carbon dioxide & water as the waste products.
