This may sound like a crazy question. I'm guessing through your waste, urine, feces, and sweat it out through your pores? All of these ways? Anyway, I've been working out and drinking plenty of water, doing much cardio for at least 30 - 45 minutes on my exercise bike. Eating small portions of whatever I want within reason 6 times a day. I've been losing a lot of weight and inches in the first week and a half. I'm already seeing a difference. I'm losing my baby gut and on my way to viewing a six pack abdominals for the first time ever in my life. It one day came to me as a question how does fat really leave the body, and also I know that fat is burned and used up after at least 30 minutes of cardio, how does the body use fat as well when it comes to using it for energy?

when a car uses its gas, where does it go. it gets turned into chemical energy and allows the car to move. same with fat and ur body. almost like a fireplace. when the log is burned, it gives off heat energy. u can feel it and it gets hot. thats why a car gets hot and thats why ur body gets hot when u burn fat. u use it.

Actually, fat is burned when you're body hits a certain plateau when exercising. You need to get your heart rate up to a certain amount so your body switches from aerobic metabolism to anaerobic metabolism. Basically, the body has used up the carbs for energy and is now onto the fat. Do you ever see anorexic people. They are so skinny b/c all their carb/fat storage is used up and the body is feeding off the protein stores, you never want to go this far. Also, replenish fuel with low fat high protein foods so that your body has less fat to metabolize for wastes. Drink lots of h20 as well.

I think the fat fairy comes and takes it off of you and puts it on my butt while I'm asleep.
But you are right about the fat being burned up. It is converted to energy in a more liquid form, cycled through your body in the bloodstream, and then stored or expelled as waste.

It is burned as energy. I heard a doctor answer this very question (it was on Good Morning America or something like that). He said we have amazing machines and we burn calories with almost no impact. Of course I can't put it as well as he did but that was the basic answer.

The body uses fat to protect itself and keep heat in. Fat is composed of fat cells, called adipose tissue. When you're consuming too many fats and calories,the cells fill up with lipids (fats). When you're consuming less and exercising, the fat cells lose their lipids and shrink. The lipids burn away once they aren't getting the regular supply of calories and fat as well as exercise.
