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 really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus. To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist. Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications. Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.
