Keep in mind this has been based on a sample size of 1 (me!). Say you do feel bloated one morning and are second guessing the bulk. Do this: - Drink a coffee/tea (anything with caffeine) - Take a sugar-free electrolyte powder (Powerade zero works great) Then go for a relaxing walk until you gotta pee. It takes me about an hour to 'clear the bloat' I would like to add a piece of experiential info. Keep in mind this has been based on a sample size of 1 (me!).

Just remember that a modest amount of fat gain is acceptable. Of course, you don't want to lose control but you can always lose fat later. Glad I could be of some help, sir. Good deal.

And especially this article. I've been a FFB for about 8 years now and have hovered around "skinny fat" for a good deal of time. Having lifted weight out for the last two years I figured I must be doing something fundamentally wrong since I hadn't noticed much of a change. But I still didn't know what it could be. I figured my rep/set combo was holding me back. Boy was I wrong. About two months ago I noticed myself gaining some serious muscle on my chest and arms after deciding to eat a little more. Then one morning I felt a little 'extra chub' and decided I should cut back on my diet so that I would feel good and lose the fat. Obviously I hadn't realized that the only change responsible for my recent muscle growth was my increase in calories. Anyway, long story short, I have decided to accept some fat gain on my current workout block. Calories are up from 3000 to 3500 and I'm already feeling different! Thanks again JC! JC,

The only time I'd be worried about gaining back an abnormal amount of fat is if you dieted to a really low body fat way below your setpoint. the only concern I see is simply returning to your old habits.
