Not sure if this is clear. Our bodies are supposed to replace all the cells every 7 or so years. Does that mean the fat too? Or when someone loses 20 year weight, are you getting rid of 20 year old fat?

So, losing weight, is like taking a long needed shower for your cells.
Edit: That link is awesome. Your gut lining turns over every few days and your skin is weeks? That brings up so many more questions about the biome then.
Kind of? The cells, called adipocytes, primarily store triglycerides and a few other things in a liquid form. When you lose weight that liquid gets squeezed out and used as energy, to build other chemicals your body needs, or peed straight out.
So less a shower and more getting rung out like a sponge.
Most of the weight is carbon that is breathed out actually, but metabolic water isn’t insignificant.
My brain has to readjust to all this, very strange.
