A member asked:
My 17 years old son has been going to gym from 2 years now he is turning from skinny to a giant,is there a way to lose these muscles and be skinny?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ?: Muscle mass supports a strong metabolism and is accompanied by strong bone structure. This pays off over a lifetime. Since he is going to the gym, likely to build muscle, why would you want to defeat his purpose ? Simply stopping his workouts would eventually be met with reduced muscle mass.
