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.

I'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.

My partner and I have been vegetarian for a while, and we recently decided to switch to a vegan diet, meaning we've given up milk and dairy products altogether. Could you advise us on a good vitamin B12 supplement? Wed love to know what dosage to take and how often we should be taking it. We just had our B12 levels checked, and they were perfectly normal before we stopped consuming milk a few days back.
