And when you lose weight, you breathe it out.

That one blew my mind.

I am begging you not to elaborate here.

Sugar plus oxygen equals energy plus CO2 plus water.

That's true of the metabolic pathways for fat, protein, and alcohol, too. Each oxygen molecule we breathe feeds into chemical reactions so that it picks up a carbon atom and becomes CO2 on the way out. The carbon comes from whatever food was metabolized, including anaerobic respiration where the lactic acid eventually gets cleared out.

There's a "Yo mama so fat" joke in here somewhere, I just can't find it.

Yo mama so fat, if she went on a diet she'd raise the average global temperature by a degree.

Is that why the gym smells so greasy all the time?
