Losing 10 kilograms of human fat requires the inhalation of 29 kilograms of oxygen, producing 28 kilograms of carbon dioxide and 11 kilograms of water. That’s the metabolic fate of fat.
There are two problems with this immediately, one being that they insinuate fat doesn't give you energy, and the other being that there's no explanation for what happens to Hydrogen which comprises lipids. Fat has about twice the energy of carbohydrates due to equidistant electron placement between atom bonds in molecules (nonpolar nature). This distance the electrons must travel to any one atom within a carbohydrate is greater than the placement of electrons in polar bonds (where electron distribution leans closer to one atom) which have less space to move, less work to be done, and ultimately less energy to be expended. Organisms use fat as energy storage for times of scarcity. If these people think lipids don't give you energy, they surely don't think carbohydrates do.Also, Carbon dioxide, as they claim, explains why fat is converted into "thin air."Lipids are comprised of hydrocarbon chains, hydrogen and carbon atoms arrayed in myriad configuration. CO2 only explains part of hydrocarbons, there's no mention of Hydrogen. If they were trying to dupe people with pseudo-science they could have at least said urine does the other part of the work (even though it sounds ridiculous).
