Just because you're inhaling molecules that have 2 oxygen atoms, and exhaling molecules that have 2 oxygen atoms for every 1 carbon atom, doesn't mean you're exhaling more matter than you're inhaling. The numbers are ratios. They don't imply a larger volume. Not to mention the composition of what you inhale and exhale is not simply oxygen and carbon dioxide. As it usually goes, reality is much more nuanced than this short article implies. I know nothing about this topic. I definitely don't know enough to say this reason for losing weight is wrong. However, the explanation is utterly unconvincing. edit: apparently there's a youtube video that didn't load for me the first time. I think it's trying to say that for the same volume CO₂, there's more mass? I think I should have avoided commenting on a subject that I know little about.
