Weight Reduction Formula

According to Law of Conservation of Matter, there is no detectable increase or decrease in the quantity of matter, no mass is changed during an ordinary chemical change. So my question is:

How does exercise work on weight loss? Where does all the mass go during exercise? As we all know, if we use our calories, our weight decreases. But there is inconsistency between the law and weight loss. Anyone can explain this mechanism? Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to lose about 10 pounds and I was wondering if weight loss teas would help (”Three Ballerina” brand). I don’t want to damage my body in any way, however. Do you know if these teas are safe to drink?

I burned about 245 calories on my oliptical and i was wondering on how much weight i loss or fat i burned, are there any sites that teach you those calculations?

So my workout routine is this- 30 min of cardio (usually eliptical at 230 watts) m-f and then I alternate muscle groups daily, but I lift weight for another 30 min. On saturdays, I attend a body pump class. During my cardio, I burn between 450 and 500 calories, and I sweat like crazy. I don’t want to increase my cardio more than 150 min a week, because personal trainers have advised me not to. I try to work abs a little bit everyday. I am doing a lower calorie diet (1500-1700 a day), and I try to eat something every 2 or 3 hours to keep my metabolism up. I lost 20lbs in 2 months, and now I can’t seem to loose any more weight. I want to loose weight naturally (meaning I don’t take weight-loss supplements) so I just stick to a daily multi-vitamin. I only want to loose like 2 lbs a week or so, and not much more. So what should I do to start loosing weight again?? I’m stuck… Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Ok, some things I forgot… I turn 21 this month, and I already eat alot of fresh fruits and vegatables, and alot of chicken ****** because of the low fat and high protein content.

I was thinking about alot of different methods, but i couldnt decide which one to choose! i can’t do any of those Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem diets, beause im only 13. I am really not in good shape, here are some ideas:
1. Water diet/ fast
2. 5-day fast
3. Lean Cuisine
4. Diet and Excersize (ABs)
5.Counting Calories
Any more ideas, please let me know, if you could help me find which one has the most rapid weight loss, and which one is easiest, that would be great. Thanks!

ive been doing research on matcha and i read that regular drinkers have a 30-40% increase in their metabolism which results in weightloss. i was just wondering how long would you have to drink matcha tea to notice weight loss results? in other words, what makes a regular drinker? they’ve been drinking it for a month? 5 months? etc? thanks!!

I’m in sixth grade and the slightest bit overweight. I wanna look good for middle school and need weight loss help. Any suggestions? Excersize ideas?

I know its wrong but im just curious from the people who have actually tried both who have had their temporary weight loss and who actually got skinny because of it. Ive heard laxatives dont make u any skinnier they just show a smaller number on the scale.

If it helps: I’m in my 20s and am talking about moderate weight loss. About 2 pounds a week or so.

A weight loss program should have all of the following characteristics except
A. use MyPyramid as a pattern for food choices.
B. the plan should adapt to habits and tastes.
C. the plan should have a weight loss goal of 3 to 5 pounds per week.
D. the plan should be socially acceptable, allowing attendance at parties and restaurants.
