#9 The Missing Piece: Why Reverse Dieting is Essential for Long-Term Success

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of reverse dieting, a crucial approach for those who have been dieting for an extended period and struggling with plateaus or negative health effects. Reverse dieting involves gradually increasing calorie intake after a phase of calorie restriction, with the goal of rebuilding your metabolism and improving overall health.

We'll explore the signs that indicate you may need a reverse diet, such as constant hunger, fatigue, poor sleep, and mood swings. You'll learn how these symptoms signal your body’s need for more fuel rather than less. The primary focus during reverse dieting is on biofeedback and how your body feels rather than on the number on the scale. Positive changes, such as improved energy levels, better digestion, and a healthier relationship with food, are key indicators of progress.

The episode shares real client stories, illustrating that reverse dieting can lead to significant health improvements and even fat loss after an adjustment period. We'll discuss the time commitment required for effective reverse dieting and the importance of patience. Additionally, the episode addresses mindset shifts around weight gain during this process, emphasizing that it can be a necessary step towards long-term success.

If you're stuck in a restrictive eating cycle and ready for a healthier path, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement on how to heal your metabolism and reclaim your energy.
