Probably a crap question really but interested in knowing what sweat is made of. Is it all water or is there a % of fat being squeezed out when you are really going for it and getting a bead on?

It's something 99% water plus salts/minerals, urea and lactate.

There are oils on your skin but they aren't a constituent of the sweat itself.

6% water
18% adrenalin
12% fear
19% heavy engine oil
14.2% salt
33.9% bile

(i'd actually imagine it's ~99% water, with a bit of a variety of salts, and maybe a smidge of natural oil, but i doubt it'll be a great way of losing fat)

Carrying on the slightly silly questions.

Do people on weight loss diets have fattier poo then those that are not losing weight?

It all has to come out of the same hole surely?

my misses works for a big pharmacy group and when that "magic" diet pill from the usa became legal to sell in the uk they all had to go on training to sell it. basically find out about the product and what questions you should be asking the person buying it

anyway the jist of it was that if you take this pill your body will start to break down fat reserves while reducing the amount of fat being taken onboard through food but that it meant was that your poo was basically semi- solid or liquid and full of oils for the time your on the pill

not a good idea!!

Are you not just missunderstanding Conjugated Linoneic Acid ? Which you can take to block the transport of fat into fat cells by compettitive inhibition of the transport mechanism?

The best one I head was the 28 day diet pill, the first couple were tapeworm eggs, the lasst few were the tapeworm killers, everythig inbetween was just a placebo. Unfortunately people found they were looseing so much weight after 3 weeks they never took the final dose!

One side effect of such pills is anal leakage.
