Episode description
Summary of episode:
In this episode we talk about what a reverse diet is, why we would do them, how to do them and so much more.
NOTE: MOST PEOPLE DO NOT NEED REVERSE DIETS!
What is a reverse diet?
How you eat after a diet of 8+ weeks is over
Instead of just going back to the diet you were eating before the cut
What are the benefits?
Prevent rapid fat re-gain after a diet as we are PRIMED for fat re-gain after a diet
Find out our new maintenance
The goal is to restore metabolic rate, avoid fat gain, and support long-term sustainability.
Who is it for?
After a diet that gives you plenty of fatigue (hunger, cravings, low energy, etc)
If a diet doesn’t give you any of these, eating normally/healthy after is totally cool
How to do a reverse diet?
Know your end of cut macros/calories
From there, start adding in 50-150 cals per week (mainly carbs and fats)
MONITOR YOUR BODY!
Weigh yourself daily, track weekly averages, and monitor measurements and progress photos.
Adjust Based on Response- If weight jumps quickly (>1 lb/week): hold calories steady until it stabilizes.
If weight is stable: continue adding 50–150 kcal each week.
Common mistakes:
Increasing calories too quickly
Letting “reverse diet” become a binge phase
Not being patient
Fearing any weight gain
