When did u begin to see results?

How long should it take for you to see results when preparing for competition... Around what 'week' in your diet did some of you really see a difference, just curious?

I did a long, slow, 24 week contest diet so my results came slowly. After 4 weeks i saw some decent changes, after 8 weeks of dieting i saw some real big changes, and after 12 weeks of dieting I started to get pretty lean. you have to push through the first 4 weeks because you actually look pretty bad during those first 4 weeks....you dont look as full as you did while bulking, you seem to be shrinking yet you still look like the same amount of fat. You'll turn the corner soon though

definitely depends. I did some pretty intense and extreme dieting and exercise and I could generally see differences at least somewhere every week through pictures I took. Maybe one week the love handles would have shrunk a little, or if they didn't maybe the gut got a little smaller, etc. Taking lots of pics with the same lighting, conditions, time of day, etc is a great way to judge your progress because this is how you will be judged at your show- by what people see. Good luck with your diet and give yourself plenty of time.
