If You Are Obese You Have Fatty Muscle

  • The muscle tissue of obese people:
  • Stores more fat than that of healthy weight or underweight people
  • Burns less fat than that of healthy weight or underweight people
  • Excess fat storage in muscle tissue increases risk of diabetes and cardio vascular disease
  • For obese people, regular exercise increases their muscle’s ability to burn fat
  • Start a daily exercise program to reprogram your muscle to burn more fat
