How Long Would It Take to Go From Fit to Flab?

[curling]

This is kind of a reversal from the other question posted but just curious say you quit working out and dieting and started eating what ever you wanted and when ever you want(like most fat people) . How long would it take you to lose your physic and look like a lard ass(2, 3 or 4 months)

Okay, I wanna get real witcha peeps here for a second or 3.

I'd say it all depends on what type of body you have. Generally, the rule of thumb for gong from fat to fit is to give yourself as long to lose the weight as it took to put it on. I guess that would work in reverse too.

Losing 1-2% Bf per week is easily doable.

6 minutes and 3 seconds. +/- 3 years.

Corn - Not fat to fit, but FIT TO FAT. As in stop exercising.

i am normally a skinny man, so my body would never reach a state of being fat unless i took up competitve eating. i would probably revert back to a 150lb guy with toothpicks for arms in about a year or so. but honestly i don't think i would ever be as tiny as i was when i started lifting because i don't imagine the base i've built will ever totally diminish. i'd probably be about 160-165. with some gut no doubt.

with some gut no doubt.

So that part wouldn't change.
