[Stupid Question] Why cut/bulk in cycles instead of doing it all in one go? (lemmy.world)

You often see people in fitness mention going through a cut/bulk cycle, or mention one, with plans to follow up with the other. Why is it that cutting and bulking so often happen in cycles, rather than said person just doing both at once, until they hit their desired weight?

I'm not a fitness guy. However, I'd assume it's for the same reason you don't press on the gas and the brake at the same time. I could be wrong, however.
