A promising new treatment for high triglycerides
“When you think about fat circulating in the bloodstream, you might immediately think of cholesterol. But there’s another type of fat you shouldn’t ignore: triglycerides.”

When you lose weight, where does the fat go? Most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide, study shows
“he most common misconception among doctors, dieticians and personal trainers is that the missing mass has been converted into energy or heat. The correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide and goes into thin air.”

No wonder everyone in Dragon Ball Z is so ripped... They release so much carbon dioxide just by screaming!

There is an entire industry that exists just to give people advice on how to lose weight, when it is really not that complicated: Don't eat so much.

[yeahboi]

Yeah right after I finished eating my 11th taco and 3rd can of Pepsi. Thanks Obama

[rituales]

"like in urine, sweat, tears, or other bodily fluids"

This was a missed opportunity to tell the viewing audience that exercise has only a MINIMAL effect on fat loss. That is not to say that exercise doesn't confer upon the exerciser many other health benefits, and it therefore should be a part of a well rounded wellness program, but it does not induce a significant amount of fat loss. The only true way to lose body fat is to change ones diet to one that is hormonally conducive to lowering circulating insulin levels, which liberates fat stores of their triglycerides more readily, while simultaneously being satiating so that one can go longer and longer between meals without feeling hungry, because hunger is the greatest impediment to long term compliance on any diet. The most effective diet to accomplish this is a sensible low carb diet.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

You left out the fact that dietary fat stores as body fat more efficiently that protein or carbs (look it up). It only takes 2.5% of excess dietary fat calories to store the rest of the 97.5% fat calories as body fat, but it takes close to 30% of excess dietary protein and carb calories to chemically convert the rest of the 70% to fat stores. Its debated that protein and carbs can even make it to the last stages of being stored as body fat since it takes such a large amount of energy for the chemical conversion, they may just burn themselves out.

quick fact every one should know. all organic compounds turn into CO2 and H2O when they are reacted or separated.

i am to lazy to hit the gym, i just eat 1700 carbs a day and sit in front of the computer till i reach whatever weight i am happy with

[ultravidz]

Fastest way to FATNESS is by combining fats & carbs. AVOID DOING THIS. Ex: (pizza, fries, donuts, cookies, cake, candy bars, ice cream, anything breaded and fried).

• Combine CARBS & PROTEINS
• Combine FATS & PROTEINS
• NEVER combine FATS & CARBS

Didn't learn this in my Bio class but I always wondered. I just assumed it was released in excrement. Thanks for the education!

[hellstarremina]

[troopygino]

[nealdesai]

so does working out while you're starving help speed up weight loss?

[danlsan]

Losing weight is one of the most simple things, just be in a caloric deficit

[georgecataloni]

I'm quite sure protein doesn't convert into fat, that's why the Atkins diet works (even though it's not good for long term).

[ultravidz]

I burn fat by setting myself on fire. The heat powers my house, and I never looked better.

[ChiralSymmetry]

I think you mean "33 milligrams" not "33 grams."

In a CO2 cartridge (used for bb-guns, bicycle inflators, soda-machines), there is about 16 grams of CO2. We couldn't possibly exhale two cartridges of CO2 per breath!

I keep in shape by walking my dog and going to the gym 2-3 times per week. I go to a kickboxing class for an hour 2x per week

Your ding-dong bell-like background music is driving me nuts because it sounds enough like my doorbell to keep me constantly checking if somebody's at the door--till I remember, AGAIN, it's goddamn YouTube!!
