the great thing about gaining is that it is reversible, so take sometime, let your body adjust to your new body and then decide .. but you don't have to rush into losing anything as of yet, yoyoing is actually very bad for your heart and muscles.
I am aware of the potential issues with yoyo dieting. I have also seen conflicting reports. Regardless, it's what I've done for years. Why? I don't know. Sometimes I've lost because I didn't feel good. Sometimes I've lost because I wanted to. But every time I've wound up fat again.
I'm not intentionally losing now. I decided I wanted to eat better. If I lose, cool. If I don't, also cool.
Oddly enough, it wasn't too long ago that I was musing about gaining to 300lbs. What stopped me? Who knows. Will I get there? Never say never. I'm about 260 right now and for the first time, appear squishier.
I have been eating better, but the more I think about it, the more I want to keep gaining. I don't think I'm there completely, but it's on my mind. My hope is to take it easy and see what happens. I am trying to avoid fast foods. I think this is a big factor as to why I've lost visceral fat.
