Dieting After Bulking?

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding

Hi,

How long must one wait to diet after bulking? I have heard that one’s body must ‘adjust’ to the new weight. But how long does this ‘adjustment period’ take?

Thanks!

I personally think you need to give your body about two months to adjust to major changes in body mass. The same goes for dieting. If you drop 50lbs, don’t expect to go right back to gaining one week after hitting your goal weight. You will likely put all of the weight right back on. When gaining weight, you have to give your body enough time to adjust. I have seen many people gain weight, panic over loss of an ab and then lose everything they just gained trying to diet it back.
