Just had a fat try to explain to me that doing cardio makes anyone who does it fat.

Some BS about it releasing a chemical in the body that tells it to store all calories as fat.........

Cortisol

He ain't 100% wrong, but he is 90+% wrong.

Extended cardio, especially done too often or done repetitively for years, your body will produce cortisol which will cause excess calories to more easily convert to fat.

Too Much Cortisol - A nodule (mass) in your adrenal gland or a tumor in the brain’s pituitary gland can trigger your body to make too much cortisol. This can cause a condition called Cushing syndrome. It can lead to rapid weight gain, skin that bruises easily, muscle weakness, diabetes, and many other health problems.
