Summary: In today's episode of Fat 2 Fit Radio, we check in with Helana and listener Caren about their body fat percentages, goals, and those hard-to-avoid numbers on the scale. We respond to listener comments from episode 142 (no, muscle does not turn into fat) and discuss some ways Photoshop and magazine covers may disrupt how we understand the fat 2 fit lifestyle. Helana explains her remarks on why the Jessica Alba InStyle cover gives her the "heeby-jeebies," and we look at past Photoshop offenders like Shape Magazine and GQ.
