Muscle and fat cannot be transformed into each other, and they live and die together. But why do you gain muscle and lose fat? Where's the fat?
Yes, you're right. Your question is "Why do you lose fat when you gain muscle?"? Where is the fat? " .

To answer your question, we must first correct a concept slightly. There is nothing wrong with increasing fat during muscle gain, but the proportion of increase is not consistent. For example, in the muscle training stage, you gained weight 1kg, in which the ratio of your muscle to fat is not 1: 1. The actual situation is probably that the ratio of muscle to fat is 90: 65,438+00-99: 65,438+0. Similarly, if you don't gain muscle, but eat more and don't exercise every day, your weight will increase by 1 kg, but the proportion of fat in this 1 kg is definitely much higher than that of muscle. Another factor that can't be ignored is that after more muscles, people's metabolism will also accelerate, so the situation that excess nutrients are converted into fat is less than that of ordinary people, so there will be less fat; Another secondary factor is that the proportion of muscle in the body has increased and the proportion of fat has decreased relatively. For example, the same 5 kilograms of fat grows on people with 20 kilograms of muscle and 5 kilograms of muscle, and the visual effect is very different.

The same is true for reducing fat. In the 5 kilograms of weight you lost, the proportion of muscle is far less than that of fat.

By the way, muscle gain and fat loss can't be done at the same time, otherwise it will only get twice the result with half the effort, and haste makes waste. At the same time, the human body can only maintain a state, either maintaining a positive nitrogen state or maintaining a negative nitrogen state.
