Getting Fat From Muscles

There are some scientists that are claiming some obese people have muscles that are "programmed" to collect fat.

The phenomenon, dubbed metabolic memory, could explain why slimmers find it difficult to lose weight AND keep it off.

Instead, dieters would be better off exercising, as this seems to be more effective at reprogramming the muscle memory syndrome.

The scientists claim that a fat-building enzyme was three times more abundant in muscle taken from obese people than that taken from thinner people. It showed there was a link between obesity, diabetes and fat build-up in muscle.

The cells of obese people seemed to remember their metabolic programme, which explains mostly why people with obesity find it so difficult to lose weight from dieting alone. Experts believe its possible to reprogram the cells and their metabolic memory through regular exercise.
