TFA does say "energy/heat + CO2 + H2O", but most of the output in terms of mass -- which is what one is interested in when it comes to losing weight -- is carbon dioxide.
- mtzaldo 9y agoDoes this means that we can "control" entrophy in the universe by controlling the CO2?
- colechristensen 9y agoThe fat molecules burned usually have about twice as many hydrogen atoms as carbon atoms so you end up with about as many CO2 molecules as H2O molecules. Carbon weighs about 14 times as much as hydrogen and most of the oxygen in both comes from the atmosphere. So when you lose weight, 7 parts go to CO2 and 1 part goes to water. A very very tiny proportion goes to energy with mass-energy equivalence.
