Continued Performance by Ryan Fairman

Ever heard the question 'Can you turn fat into muscle?'

It's a popular one...And the answer?

No, you can't turn fat into muscle

It's misinformation. Don't know where it started but people truly believe if they workout, their fat will turn into muscle.

They are two very different things with very different properties. (Send a message if you like to learn more)

Now you can grow muscle and lose fat simultaneously. But your fat does not transform into muscle.

When you strength train and have an appropriate amount of protein intake, you will build muscle.

Now you won't build a crazy amount and look like a bodybuilder (that takes a lot of time and effort), but it will be a normal amount of muscle

This is super important for health and longevity!

So where does your fat go?

It is broken down through some complex metabolic pathways, which leaves carbon dioxide and water as the byproducts.

And what's the best way to make this happen?

Exercise and proper nutrition

It's why strength training is so important regardless of your goal. Your muscles need to work to grow and become stronger, which in turn will help decrease fat.

I cringe when I see these types of comments on social media and group forums...

“𝑰’𝒎 𝒔𝒐 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒚”

“𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒅𝒐 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕? 𝑩𝒕𝒘 𝑰’𝒎 𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 800 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒂𝒚”

“𝑰’𝒎 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈”

“𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕?”

The fitness and diet industry + social media has made people terribly misinformed and obsessive with their food and exercise.

Its frustrating as a fitness professional

I'm not frustrated with the people writing these things, but the fact that they think they need to suffer to lose weight.

Between cleanses, miracle “cures”, misinformation, and just plain lies all over the fitness and diet industry - no wonder people are so confused about losing weight. Even when they manage it through misguided methods, they feel like garbage because of it.

This is why I’m so passionate about helping people.

Achieving your goal bodyweight or body composition does not mean you have to suffer to get there.

Please find a better way.

Make better decisions, work on your daily habits, and understand that it takes time to make long lasting changes.

Then if you decide you need help - I’m here. Reach out and we can discuss next steps.

Go easy on yourself....

You don't have to be everything to everyone. You don't even have to be everything to yourself right now.

If you're finding life hard, that's OK.

If basic self care is hard, that's OK.

If going for a walk feels hard, that's OK.

If talking to people is hard, that's OK.

Your best is your best at that given time...Not the best ever that you're capable of...

Nobody functions at their best ever, every day...And that's OK. It really is.
