2 weeks down 15lbs

I only lost 4 pounds last week. Why am I pleased? Well 4 lbs is 4lbs but what really matters is my waist went down another inch. I am losing fat and building muscle which will effect the scale given the fact muscle is denser than fat.

     This week I am going to try something new with my cardio. I am only going to do a brisk walk on the treadmill at 3.8 mph my fat burn heart rate range is 110-130 I am trying to lose fat not reach the aerobic level 150+ from running. Then I can tell people that it works from experience! We will see gonna hit it 4 days this week. As usual I'll let you know.

Notice how I said "losing fat and building muscle" not "Turning fat into muscle" which is impossible.

You hear that all the time, here is a little info regards to that.

Fat to Muscle Conversion is Metabolically Impossible

Fat and muscle are two completely different tissues in the body. Because they are created, regulated, and destroyed by different (and opposing) metabolic pathways, it’s physically impossible from one to turn directly into the other.

How Fat and Muscle Work

When your body creates a new fat cell, that cell is destined to become a fat cell. When you burn fat, you are actually releasing the stored fat within that cell, not transforming it into another cell.
Muscle cells on the other hand are much more active. They are almost constantly turning over, releasing and receiving amino acids, and of course, lifting moving stuff around.
Because their respective jobs in the body are so incredibly different, evolution has made it so fat cells cannot be turned into muscle. In theory, the calories you release from fat tissue utilization may someday end up as part of new muscle, but this effect is minimal and insignificant.
