>>>Can anyone explain how fat can turn to muscle

No, they can't!

They're completely different types of tissue, with no more chance of changing one to the other than there is of changing lead to gold.

Some years ago I 'ran to fat'. :-(

[ummmm]

It just a phrase used for when someone takes on an exercise regime. Turning fat to muscle simply means losing fat and toning up.

I'm still running sandy and trying to stop. :-(

[Sqad]

ummmm is correct.

"Slimmers" use the phrase to justify weight gain through excersise with the premise that muscle is heavier than fat! So should they continue to 'work out'?

I would say- of course, although I'm not convinced that it is a valid reason for weight gain....

It can happen, I've gained 1 kg and reduced my % fat from 20 to 15 so I have gained weight and lost fat.

Losing body fat without losing muscle mass.If you want to lose your gut, don't think of lifting weights as an option; consider it a requirement.

Sounds good to me!
