korry,
from the book Body Opus, the author recommends after you go through a 12 to 20 wk cycle, to take 2 wks off from this diet, sort of like a recharge for your body. After that you can restart another 12 - 20 wk cycle if desired. Since the diet was geared towards bodybuilders who wanted to get shredded for a competition, there isn't a standard maintenance diet that follows. Most would go back to an off-season way of eating or back to a muscle-gain phase. With that in mind, you can pick and choose what you would like to do as far as maintaining your desired weight.

HTH Good Luck....
