Fat is stored throughout the body in fat cells known as adipocytes. The number of adipocytes an individual has is determined by late adolescence and rarely changes during adulthood. However, fat cells can increase and decrease in size depending on the amount of fat that the body is storing.
When you lose weight, where does the lost body fat go? Answers from Edward R. Laskowski, M.D. To understand the answer, it helps to remember that fat is basically stored energy. Your body converts fat to usable energy for your muscles and other tissues through a series of complex metabolic processes. This causes your fat cells to shrink. These metabolic activities also generate heat, which helps maintain your body temperature, and waste products. These waste products â water and carbon dioxide â are excreted in your urine and sweat or exhaled from your lungs.
