Silly Question...

I have been losing a lot of fat lately and I was just wondering where it goes... like literally. Does it get converted into some other type of tissue, or fluid, or gets expelled from the body?
I know a question this basic sounds silly, but I'm really curious! haha

you have been burning more calories than you have been eating and thus your fat is being converted into energy (in a similar way to that food after it has been digested) and used by your body. so, No it is not being expelled from the body in the traditional sense but being used by the body.
