Nobody's saying that aerobic training will make you fat....I haven't seen that as anyone's goal yet. Have you?

A few loyal readers will remember a few weeks ago that I hypothesized that interval training would help fat loss, but steady state aerobic training may actually have a negative effect in a fat loss program:

The steady state group GAINED 0.5kg of fat in 15 weeks.
The interval training group LOST on average 2.5kg of fat in the same time frame.

Again, look at the numbers - the aerobic training group GAINED fat. The Interval Training group lost 5-8 times as much fat as the steady state group gained despite training for half the time.
Dos, could that not be taken as an implication that steady state can make you gain fat?
