Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

The article states that most people assume when losing weight that fat turns to energy. This is wrong because it turns to carbon dioxide and water. Say what?
To me this is like asking where petrol in the tank of your car goes. Energy? No, it just comes out of the exhaust as carbon dioxide and water.
My take is that it does turn to energy, with carbon dioxide and water as by products of the conversion. Therefore the assumption of the majority is correct.
Am I misreading this article or is this faux/weird science?
