Heres a common myth that I want to address and bust: Muscles will turn into fat when I stop exercising regularly This is NOT True, Heres why: Your muscles cannot turn into fat, period. Muscle and fat tissues are two different and distinct tissues. They do not have the physical capability to change from one type of tissue to another. In all reality, your muscles have a specific property Use It Or Lose It. If you dont use a muscle, it will literally waste away. Heres an example of this: When someone has to wear a cast due to a broken leg. Now when the cast is removed, the unused muscles of the leg are way smaller than what they were prior to the injury. If a muscle could turn into fat, you should see a veritable fat ball when you take the cast off an injured limb, not a set of atrophied leg muscles. So, muscle doesnt turn into fat, If you dont use it, it will waste itself away.
