How To Replace Fat With Lean Muscle

You can replace fat with lean muscles, but it will take effort, and exercise. It may not be easy, but it is possible. And it is possible to do this with exercises that are not all that strenuous. You don't have to be a massive muscle builder to replace fat with muscle. What counts is to be consistent, you have to workout regularly. And you have to follow a plan which is designed to do it in the most straight forward manner. To make it work for you, you need to find a plan that fits your ability and desire so you will follow it consistently. You can learn the best way for building lean muscle.
It takes two kinds of exercise as well as the proper diet to keep building lean muscle. The two kinds of exercise are aerobic and weight resistance exercise. You can't just convert your fat into muscle in one step. You have to first get rid of the fat by burning it off. That takes aerobic exercise, often called cardio, a fast exercise that get your heart pumping and gets the oxygen flowing to the muscles to feed the fire. That burns the fat. Then you have to do resistance exercises, most often some sort of weight lifting to break down your current muscles enough that they have to rebuild themselves. That's your added muscle. Once you start adding more lean muscle, it will be easier to lose the fat because muscles burn fat. That's a good reason for building lean muscle.
As far as diet goes, you have to eat correctly. You can't overeat, or you will be adding back extra calories that your exercise is trying to burn off. So you have to find out how many calories you should be eating for your body type and exercise level. Then you have to be also eating the "right" foods. Diet is important for building lean muscle. You need to have the proper balance of protein and carbohydrates and other nutrients. As you research various exercise plans, check out their recommendations for the correct muscle building diet. You will need to consume a variety of healthy foods while working on your plan to replace fat with lean muscles. Don't go with plans that include limited or "fad" diets. They don't help you in building lean muscle.
One thing to consider is to stick with the most healthy foods that you can, and this means trying to eat Organic. If you consume mostly organic vegetables, and fruit, and meat, you will be assured of eating "healthy". This is because such foods will not clog up your rebuilt system with added chemicals such as pesticides and hormones, and added enhancers such as waxes. A clogged system won't help you in building lean muscle.
Also you have to consider what you drink. In your body building regimen, always think about what you are adding to your new body. You need to make sure that you get enough water everyday. Your body needs the water to carry away the waste products from breaking down the fat cells, and carry the new proteins to you growing muscles. Drink filtered or otherwise purified water, don't add whatever contaminants that may be floating around in unfiltered water. Don't add the sugar and coloring chemicals from flavored drinks. Don't add alcohol (a poison) from alcoholic drinks. Poisons don't help you in building lean muscle either. Drink enough water to keep you hydrated, which is more than people usually are thirsty for. If you are thirsty, that means you are dehydrated already. You should be drinking a half gallon of pure water every day. Even more if you are working out hard.
To keep building lean muscle, you need a balanced planned diet, and a balanced exercise plan, and don't forget that the body needs a lot of sleep as it rebuilds muscle. With a bit planning and some regular effort you can do it. You can be building lean muscle to replace the excess fat.
