The Hidden Danger of 'Drying' and How to Maintain Your Results

Maintaining a Healthy Weight After a Bodybuilding 'Drying' Phase In a recent video posted by fitness influencer Andrei Morozov, the topic of weight maintenance after a 'drying' phase was discussed. Drying, a common bodybuilding practice for reducing body fat, can lead to imbalances in the body's natural systems. Morozov states, "When you dry, you intentionally disrupt homeostasis, shifting your body's balance towards fat burning." This unnatural state, he explains, can lead to difficulties in maintaining the achieved weight loss. The video highlights the importance of a gradual and sustainable approach. Morozov advises that after reaching a desired body fat percentage, individuals need to maintain a lower calorie intake and a higher energy expenditure for at least two months to allow the body to adjust to the new weight. He emphasizes the non-linear nature of weight loss and the need for consistent effort. The video concludes with a call for patience and perseverance, suggesting that maintaining the new weight requires a significant period of adjustment and consistent lifestyle changes. Morozov's advice reflects the importance of a holistic approach to fitness and the need to prioritize long-term health and well-being.
