Muscles don't turn into fat. Muscles can atrophy if they are not used frequently. In the same area fat cells can fill with fat and expand if you overeat and don't keep fit. The results is that you look and think the muscle turned to fat. It did not.

So for the same reason fat doesn't turn to muscle. If your fat is noticeable and you want to eliminate it you need to keep your energy demands up and your food intake down so fat will diminish (fat inside those fat-holding cells is used up for energy). You can't spot lose fat at all.

Your attempts to lose weight are part of that plan you need. Of course exercising consumes energy so that helps, building muscles and losing weight.

Muscle and fat cannot turn into each other either way. When people say the muscle turns to fat... what it actually means it the muscle gets flabby from not being used, but the person keeps eating the same amount of calories and gets fat on top of that. If you have a pudge right below the navel, then you need to probably lose a tiny bit more weight and/or adjust your crunches to target that area.

This is not true!!!
Muscle cannot turn to fat
Fat cannot turn to muscle

It is a matter of calories and exercise.
If you exercise more calories are used taken from fat store-therefore you loose fat
If you eat more or exercise less then excess calories are stored as fat
Fat cells and muscle cells are different-they cannot change to the other.

If you lift weights-the muscles are overloaded and therefore stimulated to get bigger and stronger.
Muscle has a higher metabolic rate therefore fat supplies the energy required.
Protein- amino acids provides the "building blocks" required for muscle growth

Fat isn't muscle and muscle isn't fat. The two are always separate. If you want to get rid of fat, do more cardio. Otherwise you are just strenghtening and toning the muscle under the fat.
