Best explanation for reverse dieting I've found so far. It's really about "upping the bar" of your existing metabolism.

But how do we do this how slow does it need to be at each and phase and by how much

[Skullknightjay]

I still have some questions if you wouldn't mind answering them.

1. Wouldn't it be great for people who are overweight, but their metabolism is used to low calories? For example, an overweight person who's daily calories for maintenance is 1000. You wouldn't want to go any lower, that'd be too difficult. So wouldn't this be a great way to fix that?
2. Do we have studies showing the weight gain difference between someone who, for example, instantly ate 1, 000 extra calories immediately compared to someone who worked up to 1, 000? What was the weight gain difference?

Step 1 choose tracking method (macros or calories
Find out maintenance intake
Determine macro balance
Choose weight progression
Monitor your progress & adjust if needed

[damien]

One thing that I’m wondering is how long should we stay at maintenance once we’ve reached maintenance calorie intake

[dandeliondiamond]

This is the best I’ve ever watch this far! ThankU!

Mifflin equation is also better for calculating new maintenance calories. Increasing carbs would be great too to replenish glycogen stores.

I tend to fast and eat low calorie for a few days and then treat myself to fatty foods in moderation for a couple days. Can this be considered reverse dieting. I tend to lose more weight this way.

This video is great for people new to reverse dieting. However those on line calorie calculators are way off for most people especially if you are coming out of a diet. Try using a tracking app for a week or two counting anything you put in your mouth. Gum food or drinks be honest with this part the only person you would lie to is yourself. At the end of the week or two take the average now if you are losing weight or maintaining or even gaining during this time now you know how many calories you are truly needing. And cars are not evil no need to carb cycle for normal everyday people. I eat 30 % of my calories from carbs everyday. Also remember if you miss your numbers on a day it's no big deal this is more about a weekly average. Sometimes I over eat others I under eat then I just balance it back out over the remaining days of the week don't just try to make it up the next day. Don't get in your head this is really a easy thing to do I've done it twice now over a 3.5 year time frame and after two fat loss phases

[ironrootsstrength]

Thank you so much for the bloopers I feel so much better about my own recording now hahha

[jimbean]

Huge kudos to acknowledging layne. I love norton

[DarlaGallew]

Could you talk about carb cycling? I'm trying to understand it.

[VanessaBravoo]

Hello! I’ve been reverse dieting for a year now and I was eating 2, 500 calories every day. But due to vacations and work trips I stopped tracking calories and I’m pretty sure I was under eating for approximately a month. I was planning to start my cut phase but because I was not eating as much calories as before this past month I’m not sure if the cut will work. Should I eat my 2500 calories again for a few weeks and then cut, or should I start the cutting phase right away? Thank you, I love your videos!!

[marinavaquerperello]

Hi! Does anyone know if reverse dieting can work if my metabolism is broken not just due to dieting, but also taking antidepressants! These pills made me gain a lot of weight and when I stopped taking them, even though I'm eating very little, I have lost nothing

[leeclarkbang]

I have a question, I actually eat like 1500 to 1800 calories per day, and I am in a low weight, i don´t exercise and pass the whole day on the computer for classes, I went to the nutricionist and gave a 3000 calorie diet, that it´s literally a deportist diet, idk what to do, my apetite is very low. Should I eat all that?, I am 15 and women

[plantstrong]

Thank you for this! I’d like to hear more about intuitive eating
