I think you're talking about the litteral melting of fat when it's burned. During cardio for example fat will burn down to a liqued that can be passed out of the body through whatever means; sweat, poop, pee, whatever. That's why drinking water is so important, if you dont flush it out the liqued collects and just stays there (making the trademark 'flab'). Healthy fat is hard fat, for example the fat that gathers around your ribcage as a buffer. Think of it in terms of looking at a piece of raw meat. You have the good fat which is a marbling through the muscle, and the thick 'white' fat on the edges. When you cook the meat, the fat litteraly becomes a liqued, cook a steak long enough and it becomes a dehydrated brick since its the fat that makes it juicy which will eventually burn up entirely. So when you're doing aerobics you're like a steak in the oven dripping off fat in to your internal pans, then you have to wash it off with lots and lots of water. Of course, just by nature we're supposed to drink shit-tons of water everyday regardless of burning fat or not.
There's alot of studies that say that just by drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water a day you can, among many benefits, actually regulate your body to the point of flushing toxins and with it, used fat that's just been sitting there since it was burned.
