Biological mechanisms of fat metabolism
Overview
Research indicates that when the body metabolizes fat through a caloric deficit, the majority of the mass is expelled via the respiratory system. Specifically, approximately 84 percent of metabolized fat is converted into carbon dioxide and exhaled through the lungs, while the remaining 16 percent is converted into water and eliminated through processes such as sweat, respiration, and urine.
While weight loss is a common objective, health experts note that losing weight does not always equate to losing fat. Without incorporating strength training, individuals risk losing muscle mass or other lean tissues alongside fat, which can impact metabolic health and functional strength.

Fat loss primarily occurs through the lungs, with 84 percent of fat mass expelled as carbon dioxide. Experts also note that strength training is vital to ensure weight loss includes fat rather than muscle.
