Hi

But if I convert from Christianity to Islam (or reverse), I do not make one 
into the other, do I?  "Convert" appears to have multiple senses; see:

Take care

Errr...I believe the word he used was "convert" - that is, "convert fat into 
muscle" - I don't think this is ambiguous, to convert something is to make it 
into something else. If he had been more careful (giving him the benefit of the 
doubt) or knowledgeable (less flattering interpretation) then he might have 
said "replace". I've heard a lot of people spout off about "making fat into 
muscle" - enough to know that it is a very common misconception that I suspect 
he probably harbors too - based on the way it was presented.
