Q: Ok, I joined running club last year, went down a pant size and everything... Now I gained weight, and am at the same pant size as I was before gaining some weight. I was told that, if you run, you turn fat into muscle and then as time goes on, you can lose weight but still have muscle <-- is this true?
A: first off you cant turn fat into muscle you can either burn it or put it on. however you can burn fat as you are building muscle mass. in case you didn't know muscle weighs more than fat so that would explain your Weight gain as you are building more muscle but burning more fat.
