My layman's understanding is
- fat burning results in CO2
- CO2 is only removed by exhaling
- we exhale ~about~ 2lbs of CO2 per day
- fat burning is limited by the amount we can exhale
note: this does not claim one can only burn 2lbs of fat/day only that resulting CO2 from burning some amount of fat must fit in the exhaling budget
- Mountain_Skies 7y agoVery interesting. I assumed that the limit was due to some internal process and hadn't considered maximum CO2 output. Wonder if this means people with larger lung capacity could burn more fat per day.
