After using google I’ve run into people who think that it passes through urine/feces and many who say it’s “burned up” and released as heat. These people are definitely not experts so I thought I’d turn to you guys.
I always had the theory that you breath it out as CO2. I remember my undergrad biochemistry of fatty acid oxidation and the whole krebs cycle diagram where a lot of the metabolism steps released CO2.
Such a broad question but just looking for insight. Thanks

One thing I did want to say though…but this is why I WENT TO SCHOOL FOR THIS SHIT.
It is nice to log onto a website and ask a random question without any basic knowledge of the subject matter only to glean some small half-assed piece of info you barely understand.
The truth is, if you really want to understand this shit, you will go buy a college level biology and A&P book and really learn it.
OR, you can continue arguing with other people who don’t know shit so the level of ignorance continues to rise until it drowns us all.
Thoughts?
The Basics:
[quote]After fats leave the stomach, they enter the duodenum of the small intestine. Their presence causes the stimulation of the gallbladder, which forces bile down into the small intestine. The bile emulsifies, all the fats in the intestines.
The emulsified fats are then split by enzymes into fatty acids and glycerol. At this point, the fats can be absorbed through the intestinal mucosa. During absorption, the fatty acids and glycerol recombine with a small amount of protein to form microscopic particles of fat called chylomicrons.
The fats in the form of chylomicrons are now soluble enough to enter lymph circulation. The fatty acids are converted to the liver to acetate or ketone bodies as an energy source for the cells.
The fat which is not used immediately for the body’s energy needs is stored primarily in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is a special kind of tissue (found mainly around the stomach, thighs and buttocks) which contains the necessary enzymes to continually produce and release new fat to meet the body’s needs.[/quote]
I thought you put it under your pillow so a fairy would come at night to take it away and leave you a dollar.

Yes.
Why is someone who took an undergrad course in biochemistry asking how fat leaves the body?

Maybe he needs to get his money back from the university where he took the class?

That’s farts. That is why women don’t fart until you have been dating them for 2 months. The fairies do all of the work before that.

Goddamnit you just made me crack up in class
EDIT: Not a biochemistry class
No, women don’t fart, period.
That’s why they’re always so full of shit.

I remember years ago almost tripling my calories but doing no carb and losing a good deal of my adipose tissue fat. Is there a step missing here? Don’t you need insulin for that fat to be stored? Even then, doesn’t that insulin mainly break down/process the carbs eaten leading little to no dietary fat being stored? High fat/low carb diets do work.

I’m not understanding your post. By the looks of things in your last 2 sentences, you think insulin prevents fat storage by breaking down carbs. That is why I keep mentioning text books. What you are doing is basically trying to look at one small piece of a HUGE chemical process and trying to ascribe one or two actions alone to hormones. Insulin is a “storage hormone”. Its actions are not just aimed at carbs.
So do tons of other diets. The effectiveness depends on the genetics of the person involved, how they train and how they eat.

Essentially insulin will be released whenever you eat not matter what it is. It is just the amount that will vary dependent on the food you are consuming. So if you are eating a mainly fat/protein meal insulin will still be released but just not as dramatically because the fat/protein meal will digest slower than one containing a lot of carbohydrates.
So insulin will still be available to store your excess calories in adipose tissue regardless of what macronutrient it is. Also, insulin doesn’t breakdown carbohydrates. It is just a messenger that signals GLUT4 (among others)a glucose transporter, to uptake glucose in muscle or adipose tissue.

Thanks! …I might do like Professor X recommends and read up on it. I find the subject extremely fascinating.
It leaves like everything else - through the back door.
