    Fun fact: ever wonder where your weight goes when you lose weight? CO2. You literally breathe most of it out.

    BRB. Hyperventillating to test a theory…

    (Going to assume this just results in a smaller quantity of calories processed per breath before anyone get’s all sciencey on me.)

      It’s too hard to try to manually control a fast breath rate like that. What you want to do is to naturally push that up by doing a bunch of physical work so that you’re breathing heavily. Then you’ll be exhaling lots of carbon dioxide!
