Reverse dieting

So, like I’ve said earlier that I have been reversing for over 5 months now and I can feel the strength that I’ve gained over these days. This is my first reverse diet and I have to admit it has not been easy. Well, all the food you get to eat and the energy boost you feel throughout the day has been really great. But, like they say it is inevitable that you would gain some fat during the bulk phase, there has also been a little gain of fat. I had started at about 40% body fat level and I am somewhere around 34% right now but I still feel fluffy all over especially my mid-section but these are some things you would experience during the bulking phase. That being said, I cannot wait for my first cutting phase to start, which is when you start lowering your macros, basically carbs/fat while keeping the protein same. One also continues to train the same way as during the reverse so that you don’t lose the muscle you have gained during the reverse phase. Bodybuilders do a lot of these phases to achieve the body that they do but since I am shooting for only lean muscle mass, hopefully I don’t have to do a lot of these phases.

I cannot wait for my cut to start, initially when I had started reversing, I felt great with the changes my body was going through due to the lifting sessions. However, at this point I feel like I am so ready for a cut. The most challenging part of any reverse like they say is mentally. Even if you continue to lift, you cannot see all the gains easily due to all the fluff during the reverse diet phase. Anyhow, I will be starting my cut in the next 5 weeks and I Cannot wait.

Take care!!
