(2023秋·广东河源·高三统考一模)Where fat goes when you lose weight
The world is obsessed with fad diets and weight loss, yet few of us know how a kilogram of fat actually vanishes off the scales. The most common misconception by far, was that fat is converted to energy. Some thought fat turns into muscle, which is impossible.___1___
The enlightening facts about fat metabolism
The correct answer is that fat is converted to carbon dioxide and water. If you lose 10 pounds of fat, precisely 8.4 pounds comes out through your lungs and the remaining 1.6 pounds turns into water.___2___This surprises just about everyone, but almost everything we eat comes back out via the lungs.
____3____
We all learn that “energy in equals energy out” in high school. But energy is a notoriously confusing concept, even among scientists who study obesity._____4_____
According to the latest government figures, Americans consume 3.55 kg of food and beverages every day. If you put 3.55 kg of food and water into your body, plus 660 grams of oxygen, then 4.2 kg of stuff needs to come back out, or you’ll gain weight. If you’re hoping to shed some weight, more than 4.1kg will have to go.
Eat less, exhale more
____5____Unfortunately not. Huffing and puffing more than you need to will only make you dizzy, or possibly faint. The only way you can consciously increase the amount of carbon dioxide your body is producing is by moving your muscles.
A.Calories in equals energy out.
B.Kilograms in versus kilograms out.
C.The reason we gain or lose weight is much less mysterious if we keep track of all the kilograms, too, not just those calories.
D.So if fat turns into carbon dioxide, could simply breathing more make you lose weight?
E.So if not energy, muscles, where does fat go?
F.In other words, nearly all the weight we lose is exhaled.
G.Everything else you swallow is absorbed.
