hi Sonny
One of the most common fitness myths is the belief that you can turn fat into muscle. I call it a myth because it has never been done, can’t be done, and yet so many people believe that it is possible. Let me make it plain: You can’t turn fat into muscle just as you can’t turn copper to gold. Fat and muscle are two different tissues which are not even similar to each other. Just because when you get fit you tend to lose fat and gain muscle does not mean that one is turned to the other.
Why is this such a common myth?
1. It is something that people say when they describe a person who lost a lot of weight and toned up. They say: "Wow, he turned all his fat into muscle." Because this has become a part of our day to day language, it has slowly filtered into our beliefs as well.
2. There may have been certain shady marketers in the past who claimed to be able to produce this effect. I don’t know of any product that was promoted with such bogus claims, but I wouldn’t put it past some marketers as there are some bad people out there.
3. We would like to believe this is true because losing fat and gaining muscle are the two most common and important goals a fitness oriented person wishes to achieve (after maintaining proper health, of course). So, it’s very tempting to believe that there’s a connection between one and the other. It will sort of allow you to kill two birds with one stone.
Well, sorry, it can’t be done. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t lose fat and build lean muscle tissue. You can indeed. But these are two separate processes that you do and not one and the same.
To lose fat and gain muscle you need to follow a healthy diet plan and to workout regularly, doing intensive and effective strength training workouts. Otherwise, you will never be able to build lean muscle tissue. It just won’t happen.
When you do your workouts, make sure to train your entire body to develop the most muscle tissue you can as this will also help you to burn more fat. Do you cardio session after your strength training session and really push yourself throughout your workouts to get the best and fastest results possible.
