I say carbs are sugars because all forms of carbs metabolize into the same thing in your body.
From the Harvard website... Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of both healthy and unhealthy foods—bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie. They also come in a variety of forms. The most common and abundant forms are sugars, fibers, and starches. |

It's also worth while to note that body fat is not all the same. The concern from a health perspective is the visceral fat that accumulates around the belly, which is believed to increase the risk of heart attacks and diabetes.

My comments come from working for a company that conducted diabetes and triglyceride research. As I am not a scientist, I cannot say that I'm relaying this 100% accurately, just conveying my general understanding of the issues concerning carbs and body fat.

Into the earth.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Why look, I found an article on this very question.

While a small amount of fat is excreted in urine and sweat as part of the metabolic process over time, most of it is actually exhaled, Woods said. In short, we were all wrong.

Heat too.
Yes, several have said energy, because our bodies requires a certain amount of calories for general functions, this is known as BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate. This breaks down to each basic body function, and even your resting brain uses energy. Our bodies excrete waste as previously mentioned by typical waste material, liquid and solid. However, we also perspire, expire, and even just our body heat from combining food with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function is a form of waste energy. If your diet change involves reduced calories (less than your BMR needs), your body will burn something else like fat and muscle, which creates all those forms of waste. Of course, everyone's BMR will vary depending on your current metabolic rate. As example, this website http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamesk2.htm said I need an average of 2113 calories just for resting, but I've had it measured before and the actual amount was about 2880 calories, just to maintain my weight. Since I am active, I need more calories than that. To gain weight, I would need to eat even more more. To drop weight, I would need to eat less. As far as your 7 pounds, it also depends on when (time of day) you weighed yourself. Did you drink anything before weighing? before starting the diet and 2 weeks after? What about food that was in your belly before and 2 weeks after? This site even says you weigh less in the morning, even before going to the bathroom, due to carbon and water exhaled. http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2013/0......t-reason For comparison: A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds, which means a 16oz glass of water weighs about 1.04 pounds. According to http://www.thenutritiondr.com/daily-body-water-losses/ we sweat about 2 to 3 liters daily, which is about 0.9 to 1.4 pounds. Disclaimer: I am not an expert, so I might not have all the correct technical terms for things, but I believe the basic ideas are correct. |
