East central Iowa | ,A survey in 2013 asked health professionals how they believe the body rids itself of metabolized fat, and most respondents incorrectly surmised that burned fat is converted to energy or heat. Many others also incorrectly believed that most of the metabolites are converted into muscle, or excreted as feces. In fact, contrary to intuition, over 90% of lost weight leaves the body as carbon dioxide exhaled from the lungs, disappearing into thin air.
