> That’s what I’m going to tell myself when I stand on the bathroom scale in the morning. “I’m not fat, if I just compute my dry mass, I’m in superb condition.”

So fun fact: I like to weigh myself before and after long runs on sunday (15mi+). 5lbs to 7lbs difference. All water. You really can sweat off 7lbs of your weight in a couple hours if you want to.

probably mostly respiration?


Yes, most weight loss is indeed through respiration, believe it or not!
