Okay, I want all
the know-it-alls to clear this one up...or just debate it. On one of the recent threads I started about wieghts,
someone(I won\'t say who) mentioned how funny it is when these big muscle-bound guys one day have all their muscle
turn to fat. I\'ve heard this line(myth?) my whole life, and am still hearing it. However, whenever I read
something credible, such as an article last week by some muscle magazine editor, he brings up this issue and firmly
states that it is utter garbage that only morons should/could believe. What I have read is that it is an absolute
impossibility for muscle to \"turn into\" fat. If anyone goes from musclular to fat, it is because they stop using
their muscles, which then get eaten up for energy, since the body doesn\'t need them anymore, then the guy
continues to do nothing...overeat....etc.....and then he lays down fat.....and more fat......
The key point here
is that the fat is laid down as fat, NOT \"converted\" from muscles as so many people like to say and
believe.
So, what\'s the truth here?
