I understand that at some point gaining weight becomes a vanity thing, but there is good reasons for gaining muscles, they're rather good energy source to sustain you if you're planning to do long distance hiking or sailing for example.
- rofo1 8y agoThat's widely inaccurate, as far as I know. After you spend your glycogen reserves and then fat, then and only then the muscle tissue is broken and eventually used as energy. That happens if you have no other source of energy (starvation? or something), so this is definitely not normal behavior.
- omeid2 8y agoActually not at all, you don't need to have burnt through all your fat for your body to enter Catabolism, if that was the case you would never lose muscles without starvation which is of course not the case. I think everyone who wants to comment on the issue of weight and diet should understand the basics of Metabolism, it is not that complicated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism
