Can Body Fat Be Turned Into Muscle?
Posted In: Q & A
The simple answer is NO!!
This is also one of the most common fitness myths that refuses to go away. Somewhere in history an “expert” promoted the idea that muscle can turn into fat and vice versa, more than likely this individual was trying to sell a product. It is very easy to understand the body is only capable of a couple of cosmetic changes. The body can lose or gain body fat, and/or, gain or lose muscle.
The physiological processes of building muscle and burning fat are completely unrelated. The combined effect of building muscle and losing fat may appear as though you’re turning fat into muscle, but in actual fact, that’s just an illusion. Fat simply can’t transform into muscle, just like water can’t turn into oil.
