Poop questions Posted: 04-09-08 21:07pm
Ok, these are not my questions lol, but a
friend of mine wanted me to post here and
see if you all could come up with some
answers. Mind you, I've already
researched the web and I've already been
to the smellypoop website. Just wanting
something more than "turd" answers,
because she doesn't like the site because
it calls them turds (which they are but
anyways it's still not my question lol.)
So ok, here goes:
1. What is poop? From what I understand,
your body extracts things that aren't
necessarily solid from food--like
minerals, and vitamins,
and...macronutrients. So, is poop the
solid part of the food you ate pound for
pound?
2. Where does weight go when you "lose"
it? I mean, the actual fat. It has to come
out somewhere, right--is it poop? or does
it actually like, vaporize or something
when you 'burn' calories.
Thanks everyone!

oh my gosh V---the topic title is
hilarious!
I assume that poop is the part of the food
that your body cannot digest. THats what i
always thought
I also thought that you can loose fat in
the form of sweat but i could be wrong

The fat is consumed by your body - that's
why exercise is such an important part of
dieting. Your body "eats" the fat! That's
why it's "stored", so that in times of
famine, early hominids wouldn't die. The
fat is turned into the energy needed for
you to move, jump, etc.

There must be some fat that doesn't get
absorbed though...I mean in that case I
know I'd really be a lard ball because I
don't get much exercise having to stay
inside all the time.

Well not all of your food is turned INTO
fat.
What people might not know is that just
because you eat "fat" (like say on steak
or chicken" doesn't mean that exact fat
gets added to your body. Quite the
opposite actually. That fat is digested in
your stomach and intestines and used as
energy. Any surplus energy derived from
the food is then turned into fat. Yes,
your body turns solid matter into energy
and then back into solid matter!!!
Remember e=mc^2? Your body does this every
day!!
People with higher metabolisms like myself
can eat fatty foods and not exercise and
don't gain weight simply because our
bodies consume the energy derived from our
foods at a very fast rate - thus, there
isn't much left to turn into fat.
