Hey guys, happy Friday. Welcome back. Today I wanted to talk to you all about reverse dieting.

Yes, I've done a podcast on this previously that walks you through what it is and how you can do your own.

But today I wanted to talk a little more in depth on some questions I get around it and really how reverse dieting can meet you where you're at.

So typically a reverse diet is used as a diet after the diet, but in a lot of cases it can be

used before you actually go into a dieting phase. So that's, I'm going to talk a little more

about that today and just some

frequently asked questions around it. Just so you guys can get a better understanding, again,

how a reverse can really meet you where you're at, because it can truly be for anyone, whether

you're ending a dieting phase, or you're just somebody who is super inconsistent with a dieting phase. Maybe you're somebody who's

never counted macros before and this is a really good place to start as well. So again,

we'll talk about that and some questions I get with it. But the first thing I'm going to do is just

explain what reverse dieting is for those of you who this might

be the first episode you've ever listened to. Maybe you haven't listened to the episode I did on

reverse dieting. So we're just going to start there and kind of build from that. So reverse

dieting again, I usually refer to it as the diet after the diet because this is essentially,

a reverse is where you're basically flipping a diet on its head.

So we know with a regular diet if you're in a calorie deficit,

as you're losing weight over time, your body is going to adapt to that.

To those calories, It will lower your calorie output,

the calories that you burn, in order to conserve energy. And it's called metabolic adaptation.

And so that is a survival response from your body.

So that is basically like your body keeping you alive during periods of starvation, basically.
