Exercise: To lose weight it takes lowering your intake to include portion control, low fat diet, and avoiding unhealthy food. To increase muscle it requires exercise and increasing the protein in your diet. Doing both gives optimal results.

Common myth.: While exercise will help you lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously, it doesn't literally turn fat into muscle. By the same token, with a sedentary lifestyle you'd lose muscle and gain fat, but not turn muscle into fat. Exercise and healthy eating will help you lose fat while gaining muscle.
