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)

3 days. Which is why I always make sure I lift on Friday AND Monday. Miss one of those days and it pre-Subway Jared for you my friend.

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.

It takes me about 4 months. I do it every winter.

It's called off-season.


Oh yeah,....ALL HAIL KFC!

3 hours sleep will do that. hehehehe...

For me, when I am truly in shape ~7-8% bodyfat, I can literally see a difference in a week.

[WODIN]

I did it in 1994 in about 3 weeks! Beer. Beer and more beer! Oh yeah and some pizza too.

Wodin,

How much weight did you gain? Three weeks sheesh I thought it would take long than that. It took me almost 2 years to get to the muscle I have now.

 

[dimitrios]

I had surgery 8 weeks ago and I still can't train. I think I have lost some size and I am sure I have lost strength. I am still dieting to a point.

 

[Wombat]

I've seen a guy win his show at approx 4.5% bodyfat and within 3 weeks barly looked like he even hit a weight in his life...Just unreal---He put on 20 pounds of water weight within 3 days of his show(still looked real good)much bigger but not as hard and within 3 weeks looked like a piece of shit---He didn't work out and got drunk almost everyday eating pizza and ice cream---There are some people that really have to work at everything they have or its gone in no time and then there are those who don't eat for a week--get drunk and still look unreal---I'm the type that has to work hard for everything or its gone.....
