Where does fat go when you lose weight?
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.

View allI'm an actor trying to get slimmer, and although I've lost inches, my weight hasn't changed. I'm doing workouts, but I feel like I need a proper diet chart to help me lose more inches. I'm currently at 63 kg and about 5'3" in height. Could you give some advice on how to lose more inches effectively?
To help you lose more inches and achieve your desired weight, it is important to focus on a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Since you are already working out, let's concentrate on your diet. You can start by incorporating more lean proteins like chicken, fish, and tofu into your meals. Additionally, include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for fiber and essential nutrients. To aid in weight loss, consider reducing your intake of refined sugars and processed foods. It's also crucial to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. As an actor, it's essential to fuel your body with the right nutrients to support your active lifestyle and help you achieve your weight loss goals. In terms of medication, you can consider using "Orlistat" which helps in weight loss by decreasing the absorption of dietary fat in the body. The recommended dosage is 120 mg three times a day with meals. Remember, consistency is key, so stick to your diet plan and exercise regimen for optimal results.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's better to drink milk in the morning or in the evening. Is there an ideal time for it health-wise, or does it not really matter? I'm just a bit confused about what the best practice is.
Drinking milk in the evening is considered more beneficial than in the morning, as it helps promote better sleep quality, relaxes the muscles, and supports bone health, due to the presence of tryptophan, calcium, and magnesium, which have a calming effect on the body.

I'm new to Mumbai and the only thing I'm eating right now is idli vada. I'm curious, what's the calorie count for this meal? And is it good for nutrition? I'm trying to make sure I'm eating healthy.
A typical serving of idli (2-3 pieces) and vada (1-2 pieces) contains approximately 250-400 calories, with a breakdown of 50-60g carbohydrates, 10-15g protein, and 10-15g fat; idli vada can be a nutritious option due to the presence of fermented rice and lentils, which provide probiotics, fiber, and essential amino acids, but be mindful of the oil used for frying vada and consider pairing with vegetables or sambar for added nutrition.
