Why do people who exercise regularly get fat after they stop exercising?
First of all, the heat consumption will be greatly reduced. When muscles keep training regularly, the basic calories needed will increase, and the calories consumed in the original training will be directly zero if they are not trained. In other words, if you keep training several times a week, you will also consume a lot of calories during muscle breaks between trainings. However, if you don't train for several weeks, your muscles will be "cold", the strength that can be exerted by the same volume will be reduced, the basal metabolic rate will be reduced accordingly, and a large number of calories will be "saved". If you continue to stop training, the body will contract and lose muscles in order to save energy, and the consumption of calories will be further reduced.

Conversely, calorie intake may increase. You know, the amount of food is not like calories. If you subtract it, you subtract it. After bodybuilders stop exercising, the digestive system is still working as efficiently as ever, so eat the same amount of food, or you will be hungry. At the same time, due to the cessation of fitness, the diet may not be so strict, and high-sugar drinks and greasy dishes that were not touched in the past may return to the diet. In other words, the calorie intake may be higher than that during fitness. How to "cut costs" and "open source" without getting fat?
