Post-Poliquin advice

 I followed Poliquin's diet guidelines for about 6 months straight. After several months of trying to bulk up with his diet, and realizing it's not gonna work, I decided to switch over to John Berardi's guidelines.

 1 week after I increased my carbs to more sane levels (150-200g/day at  202 lbs) I look reasonably flatter than 2 weeks ago. I've heard this is to be expected - has anyone gone through this, and what did you do to deal with it?
