OneWritersSoul 353 Posted November 28, 2012 I don't know what the real answer is so let's just say that the good weight fairy came and took it away. Hooray!! Now, please send her to my house tomorrow night so I can have a major loss like that before my one month post-op appointment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where does it go??? I may be making this up, but the conversion of glycogen to energy in your muscles is an energy net negative. The fat just turns into energy and is used until it is gone. You also lose some Water by evaporation through the skin. This is my guess from common knowledge about how the body works. Others may have a more accurate scientific description.
