If you guys are trying to fix your metabolism, just try and eat more and be more active. It's that simple. If you're moving you're burning calories. Try to be active in your leisure time, play sports for fun, dance, do something. And that's on top of your workout schedule. But listen to your body and eat more. I went from 235 (I was at that weight for so long) to 185 dieting on like 2000 calories a day and that included strength training and cardio and all that. I felt tired like crazy. I recently got an active job moving freight and just ate intuitively, generally low calorie dense foods, but I'm hungry all the damn time and could eat a hippo for breakfast if I wanted to. I started tracking again and I found out I have been eating around 3000 calories a day and I actually went down to 180. Move more, eat more. Your body isn't going to refuse to burn calories if you're moving. At least spend some time at your maintenance level so your body doesn't feel like its starving to death. The goal is to be healthy

How would you recommend best finding your new maintenance calories? Just using your new weight to figure it out? Or is there a better more accurate way?

1 Very important note that you should have said: when uping your calories to your new maintenance, up them SLOWLY,
example: your new maintenance is 2300, u are now at 1700, try increasing ur intake by 150 to 200 every two weeks until u reach ur new maintenance, with this way, YOU ACTUALLY KEEP THE WEIGHT U LOST OFF, ( MOST OF IT AT LEAST )

I lost my period for 2 years now due to being in a calorie deficit for too long and over exercising. I’m at a healthy weight (22-23 BMI range) and I’ve reversed dieted from 1800 to 2700. I was wondering if eventually from doing that if I would get my cycle back. So far I’ve noticed some signs but still waiting.

I've been eating around 1200-1400 cal a day for a really long while now. I exercise 5 times a week and still see no changes in my body. I want to start increasing my calories but I don't know how to do it properly. My goal is to burn fat.

But how do i know what my new maintenance is?

[celine]

I'm very new to reverse dieting, but when I started dieting my maintenance was 1700 calories and now after 7 months it's only 1400. So if I reverse diet now, do I basically only go up to my maintaining 1400 or can I get it even higher back to the old 1700 (or more )calories and keep the same weight ?

[Ali-kfbd]

so if I was obese and eating 2500 to 3000 calories and now I lost all the extra weight eating 1600 calories and now im ready to stop losing weight but want to maintain I should go right up to say, 1900 calories and then slowly see how much I can add in without gaining?

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!!

ok good i have a question: should i cut or reverse diet after 3 months dieting 1900 kcal day? i'm a male tall 5, 67 weight 189, 60 lbs at 17 percent body fat..i'd love to get down 13-15 body fat..sometimes i'm feeling very resticted, tired, craving things, sleeping not always well...diet worked out so far and still working.. i started out with 21 BF now i am 17 BF it was a very slow process cause the weight still pretty much the same all diet period but the fat goes down and body composition is changing... what do you think?

How many calories do I add for 2 weeks? And once I bring I just jump into adding calories the next day ?

Hello! so i had a question. I really have no clue how many calories i was eating when trying to lose weight. I would restrict so much and i would starve myself practically. I was always hungry and yes, i did lose weight but i also lost hair, my period is very irregular, and i am overall not happy at all. I never track my calories i just tried eating as less as possible and hated when i would get bloated as i thought i was going to gain weight. Anyways, that's the context, i wanna say i ate around 1200 calories a day but that's probably an understatement. I probably consumed 1, 000 calories or less, up to 1200 i guess you could say a day. I am also a teenager so definitely still growing 😂. I wanted to ask how I should reverse diet back to a healthy state for my body after undereating and everything. I'm so afraid i will gain a ton of fat, as i still have a really bad relationship with food and think that if I'm full ill gain weight/fat. Plus, I am still not at my weight goal, i would like to lose more but i cant live this life of starving myself, losing hair, having an irregular cycle, and just not being happy. I would love to reach my goal but i don't know how to after everything i did to my body. Any tips on how to recover and get to my goal? Thank you so much! This video was very very helpful!!

Could you please help me with this: Ive been on a diet for about 2 months and lost about 20pound and im happy with my current weight but sometimes(mostly everyday) my mom and i go for a walk(2-3 hours) and I have dance class(every other day) so my question is....should i eat based on my net cause i still have a lot of calories left in my budget. Should i stop all my physical activity?

[Luhsav_]

alright lets say i jumpstarted to my new maintenance calories and stay there for about 5 weeks then I cut 500 calories, how long should I cut before going back to my new maintenance please answer me I am stuck cody

[caitlinhearne]

So you think after deficit you should jump straight back to new maintenance calories? Should you not do it gradually to minimise weight gain?

[BA-phmi]

Hi Cody, great video. How would one find their new maintenance? Would it be a matter of just making a calculation?

[ihateketchup]

How do I work out the new maintenance please

[tiffanysbag]

Hi cody, i have a question for you, hope you dont mind to answer it🙏🏼 so i have reverse diet for 5 months, and i have reached 2100 calories from 1000 calories.
do you think 1 month is enough to hold my new calorie maintenance before i starting to cut? Because i’ve gained too much in measurement and weight and i cant resist it anymore. My pants wont fit and many people say that i am “bigger” now (not in a good way). Im so insecure right now and so freaking stress, i really want to start my cut, but im afraid it wont working because i have only maintain it for a month. But i just cant resist to hold it for any longer. I dont need that much food excelly because i feel forced to eat everything (im not really a foodie) and i really tired of weight training. I just want to get everything done and back to my normal lifestyle. Im glad i have found your channel, because you really give the right education and information about reverse dieting. First time i discovered reverse diet was from my ex coach and it really my biggest regret last year.

[whatisthisbusiness]

What about very low calorie diets? I have been decreasing my daily caloric intake from 750-500 calories a day since September. I have been on 500 a day for a month now. If I were to up my intake to my new maintenance, would I gain weight? I'm 18, and my current BMI is 20. I don't exercise much. I really want to come off this diet but I fear weight gain.
