Just some QUICK clarification: Muscle cannot "turn" to fat. Fat cells and muscle cells are two different things and cannot morph from one type of cell into another. So, you probably lost your newly acquired muscle tone and, due to the lack of opportunities for your body to "burn" fat, your fat cells gained in size again, thus making you gain weight...
In case anyone didn't know, you keep the same amount of fat cells you were born with for life. The only way to get rid of a fat cell is by physically removing it from your body. Fat cells just increase and decrease in size, like muscle cells do.
It's very interesting, cool isht!
I wish I could find the link to the info this comes from. It was on a TLC/Discovery Channel type documentary....
