Ask HN: Why there is no “Get Jacked” Startup
4 comments
To be "jacked" doesn't mean to be healthy. Following a healthy way of life with balanced diet and avoid alcohol/smoking/drugs is much more beneficial in a long term. If you add-up regular exercise + cardio (in moderation, not going overboard), in few years one can get pretty “jacked”!
It is another issue, though, if one is obese, and wants to go back to normal. Then, same plan is relevant, but will work much slower. Medical treatment could be necessary.
Just this morning read an article hear that a pharma company developed a drug that can reduce weight with 24%. But how healthy would that be? Are there side effects? Can’t say.
One thing is for sure, at least there is a chemical miracle discovered, the sure way to convert fat to muscle is balanced diet + regular moderate muscle strain + no health destroyers (alcohol/drugs/smoking).

Biochem is hard. People have been trying to do this for like a century, and they either fail or they're a scam. Also, extreme muscle tone is really painful, weird looking, and physically inconvenient for most people. If you don't work in the fitness or modeling industry, there's really no reason to get jacked.
> US is now an obese country, how cool it would be if we can turn obese into jacked.
Sure! Ask David Copperfield! ;)

I am not a medic but as far as I know we must encourage our bodies to burn fat. It is in our response because as we get older our body hates to burn fat preferring to burn sugars. Muscles is kind of the same story: use it or lose it. If you want to convert your fat into muscles you must go to any gym and hire a personal trainer and just do all the exercises recommended to you.
Well, I don't understand how anybody living in US can get to gym without using car, but in more decent parts of world there are a lot of open-air gyms which are scattered around all cities and towns and even villages and some of that gyms are pretty advanced. Probably US is an obese country because of the zoning law which effectively requires citizens to use a car very often.

Why we've not put billions in funding a startup which can convert all fat into muscles.
