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.

Someone mentioned to me that cow milk can cause diabetesis there any truth to that? Can you help clarify this for me?

Regarding the type of milk that is good for health, both buffalo and cow milk are nutritious options. However, cow's milk is more commonly consumed and is a good source of calcium and protein.
