Booba, all of your advice is physiologically inaccurate. Fat does not convert to muscle. You'd best stick to what you know best: being miserable.

Based on Wikipedia articles that I've read (correct me if I am wrong) The energy stored in fat cells is used up, and that's part of the way flab disappears. Then there are muscles under all those fat cells, which build up based on how much work you put them through. Dummied down
Yes it does, unless you sweat it all out. Energy always stays. If you spend it, that means you have just given it somewhere else, fat don't just dissapear into thin air. Fat means you have all the energy, but no bridge to get it, so its just dead weight. I never meant it to be all physiological, its physics and philosophy which you probably missed. Basically what lillie and wikipedia said. Don't just read posts, think also.
And of course everyone is a bit miserable sometimes. Why such irrelevant attack? At least I am open minded, which you don't seem to gasp too well.

Don't expect anything.
lilwing's post was accurate. You burn off the fat (stored energy) - it does NOT turn into muscle. Fat cells and muscles cells are distinct, separate entities. You can't turn hair into fingernails, can you?
And if you don't like the word "physiologically", perhaps you don't understand the meaning.
boobaa, the stored energy in fat is used to fuel other chemical reactions in the body and released as heat during exercise. It does not convert into muscle.
Hey, I'm not in my thrities! What the hell! Lol.
I forgot that the last time I dropped a major amount of weight it took me six months. Also, I was 22 (only six years ago). So yes, my metabolism has likely slowed down quite a bit. I'm trying to amp up my cardio.....since the last time I posted I finally HAVE lost a few pounds, and my back and arms are starting to show some definition again. Even my bf commented on how good my back was looking.

...this is just my perspective on the situation...
Why, Boobaa, do you call it an attack whenever anyone attempts to correct your ignorance? Why do you constantly tell people to open their minds when you refuse to do so?

Oh, geeze, this is an old question (fat to muscle myth). We discussed it before & came to the same conclusion.
