Are you being told to eat more food to lose weight… but deep down you're confused how eating more could lead to weight loss when you've already gained weight? Reverse dieting, which involves intentionally increasing your calorie intake, is one of the most talked-about yet misunderstood strategies in the fitness space right now. That's exactly why in today's solo episode I'm answering a listener question from Kayla about reverse dieting and whether it's actually necessary for your fat loss journey. We'll cover what reverse dieting is, when it may be appropriate, who it's truly designed for, and why it's not the right approach for everyone. Most importantly, you'll learn whether you actually need to "reverse diet" to lose body fat or not. My goal is to cut through the confusion surrounding this popular trend so you can understand exactly what reverse dieting is and determine whether it makes sense for your goals.
