    Will my metabolism slow down? Also, will this cause my muscle to turn to fat?

    To keep the metabolism up and prevent muscle from turning to fat I recommend a cleanse. Anything by Dr. Oz would be sufficient.

    Can you recommend any supplements to go with my cleanse?

    All of these response are funny. Really, they are.

    Water is what makes people fat. Fat cells are like water balloons, when you fill them with water, they get big, fat, and squishy, and when you empty the water, they get small. You're body is like the package the water balloons come in, if you were to fill all those balloons with water you can fit them back into the package without stretching the package.

    Now, your body needs to have a certain amount of water to function, but too much and you're just trying to shove a bunch of fluffy squishy balloons into a little plastic package.

    Simple logic.

    So how many calories do I need to eat daily to keep from entering dehydration mode?

    I'm so confused!

    Not calories, grams of water per day. It's important to get the correct ratio to body weight. Use this formula:

    [Year you were born] * [0.0338140225589] = number of fluid oz. of water you should have each day.

    670 oz water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You forgot to carry the 1 or something. The formula works for me.

    You'll be better off if you skip water because it's full of the bad carbs.

    First of all...MUSCLE CANNOT TURN INTO FAT! That's like asking if you run instead of walk if your shoes will turn into gingerbread men!

    I think anyone of average intelligence can discern that when people talk of turning fat into muscle they actually mean losing fat and replacing it with muscle. But I can't imagine anyone thinking the same if someone said their shoes would turn to gingerbread men.

    "Muscle and fat are two separate and distinct types of tissue," says Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D., chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. "Muscle can't turn into fat any more than wood can turn into metal. But as muscles shrink because of inactivity, fat can fill the space where the muscles used to be, giving the mistaken impression that the muscles have turned to fat."

    We're all different, what works for me may not work for you. My muscle turned to fat

    You're muscle did not turn to fat... you lost muscle and gained fat. There is a HUGE difference...

    you should be more concerned about going into starvation mode because you don't eat for 6-8+ hours when you sleep!! you should wake up in the middle of the night and have a snack to keep it going....

    We all know that magazine is wrong - fat turns to muscle when you tae-bo and 2 lb weights make you bulky. So there, I proved you wrong.

    OMG your metabolism will surely stop full stop and you will gradually grind to a halt.

    Your muscle will slowly and painfully deteriorate into massive globules of fat!!

    But the good news is if you drink plenty of water all those crabs that you have a problem with will help and develop into a good full bodied crab cycle.

    Also, you could try adding more protein to help improve your keytones.

    Keytones will stop you pi**ing up peoples backs which take you back full circle to the re hydration!

    Obviously not! People are wanting PROOF that muscle can't "turn into" fat. Seriously?

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12079850

    There are several potential regulators of fat oxidation: first, malonyl-CoA concentration, which is formed from acetyl-CoA, catalyzed by the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), which in turn will inhibit carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (CPT I). Another possible mechanism is accumulation of acetyl-CoA that will result in acetylation of the carnitine pool, reducing the free carnitine concentration. This could theoretically reduce FA transport into the mitochondria. There is also some recent evidence that CPT I is inhibited by small reductions in pH that might be observed during exercise at high intensities. It is also possible that FA entry into the sarcolemma is regulated by translocation of FAT/CD36 in a similar manner to glucose transport by GLUT-4. Studies suggest that the regulatory mechanisms may be different at rest and during exercise and may change as the exercise intensity increases. Regulation of skeletal muscle fat metabolism is clearly multifactorial, and different mechanisms may dominate in different conditions.

    Your body catabolizes muscle to use for energy. Excess energy is stored as fat.

    Water?!? Do you know what fish do in that stuff?!? Ugh. Drink coffee, tea, Crystal Light, Mio and stuff like that 'cause it's not, like, y'know....water. I learned that from a college student who took a chemistry class once and was Some Cum Loud or something like that.

    WRONG! If you eat bread or sugar then muscles turn to fat. That's just one simple example that everybody knows. There are other ways too like watching tv too long.

    I really can't tell if this is sarcasm or not
