Is the orginal question misleading?
I do not think you will lose inches. Centimeters maybe.
But it is hard enough getting inches to begin with. Inches is plural.
Most guys, from what I have read, rarely gain over 2 inches, and even less for 3.
So, to lose INCHES, that seems improbable. It sounds like you lose more than you gain.
But I guess the saying goes, "use it or lose it".
