User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: are there any negatives to maingaining versus strictly bulking and cutting
Assistant: Maintaining a steady weight through "maingaining," as opposed to cycling between bulking and cutting phases, has both advantages and disadvantages. Here are some potential negatives of maingaining:

1. **Slower Progress**: In maingaining, if the goal is to gain muscle, the progress may be slower compared to a traditional bulking phase where the caloric surplus is more substantial.

2. **Possible Plateau**: Staying at maintenance can lead to plateaus in strength and muscle gains, as your body may adapt to the consistent caloric intake.

3. **Limited Fat Loss**: For individuals wanting to reduce body fat, maingaining may not provide the caloric deficit needed to lose weight effectively.

4. **Nutrient Timing**: A strict bulking and cutting approach allows for more structured nutrient timing strategies, which can be beneficial for muscle recovery and growth.

5. **Psychological Factors**: Constantly aiming to maintain weight may create a psychological burden or dissatisfaction, particularly if one is looking for dramatic changes in physique.

6. **Social Constraints**: It can be harder to manage social eating situations when trying to maintain a specific caloric intake without a bulking or cutting phase to lean on for dietary flexibility.

Each dietary approach has its merits and drawbacks, and the best choice often depends on individual goals, preferences, and lifestyle. Do you have a specific goal in mind that you are considering?
