"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."

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.

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.

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