How to reverse diet: a recap

Reverse dieting is a process whereby you incrementally increase your calorie intake in order to rebuild your metabolism and your body’s ability to burn calories. Through these strategic increases, the body’s natural fat-burning capabilities are built up so that you can eat more without gaining weight. In fact, the majority of people who reverse diet find that they actually lose some weight during this process.

How does reverse dieting work?

When it comes to reverse dieting, there isn’t a simple answer. And that’s because everyone’s body is completely unique, so each person’s path of reverse dieting will need to be different too. You can’t eat the same amount of food that someone of a different age, weight and race eats because your body works in a completely different way to theirs.

But back to answering the pressing question of ‘how does reverse dieting work?’ The key to reverse dieting is metabolism – the rate at which our bodies convert food into energy, or burn calories. To increase that, we need to increase the amount of calories we consume.

Increasing your calorie intake in a way that boosts your metabolism is done mainly by adding more macronutrients to your diet. These are:

• carbohydrates

• protein sources

• healthy fats.

Of course, the combination of these needed to boost your metabolism will differ from person to person depending on your body makeup.

Over time, as the body’s metabolism is strengthened, it reaches its optimum level which enables you to consume more and burn calories efficiently. It also supports weight loss goals, aids muscle building and increases athletic performance – an extremely versatile method.

How to achieve the best reverse dieting results

With a commitment like reverse dieting, that goes against all the messaging we’ve received about health and weight management, we understand how important it is to know how to get the best reverse dieting results. Alongside your reverse dieting program, there are a few things to consider doing if you want to maximize those results.

Work with a specialist

Everything we know about dieting is based on methods that are vastly different to the science behind reverse dieting. So it’s understandable that it might seem like an alien thought to eat more to lose weight. It also means that reverse dieting isn’t just something you can pick up.

If you want the best results from your reverse dieting journey, it’s best to go to a professional. Reverse dieting coaches are experts in their field and will be able to empower you with the right knowledge and plan of action to get your body back on track – at optimum performance level.

Weight management, and therefore reverse dieting, can’t be a one-size-fits all approach – human bodies are incredibly diverse. When you go to an expert, you’ll be able to get an individualized program that takes into account all the different factors that make you, you. Plus, the support you receive from a certified coach means you’ll give yourself the best chance of success. There may be times when you need to be extremely conservative during this reverse diet process or other times you can be more aggressive, and working with a professional that leverages the science, data, and analytics capabilities can help you achieve your goals.

Have some patience

Reverse dieting isn’t just a diet that you start by buying a specific list of groceries. It’s a complex process that completely resets your body’s metabolism – it can’t be done overnight. So to ensure you get the most out of reverse dieting, you have to give it enough time to work.

Unlike the short-term results that traditional dieting initially brings, reverse dieting takes a little time to work as it builds up your body’s metabolism. It makes sense that the long-term benefits of this process mean long-term commitments, right?

It also takes more time to build up your metabolism if it needs to be repaired first. This is the case with people who’ve had a history of fad dieting or weight fluctuations – which damages your metabolism over time.

Trust your body

A huge advantage with reverse dieting is that you gain a much more in-depth understanding of your body and the way that it works. And with that understanding comes intuition – something the vast majority of us haven’t been able to tap into, thanks to the dieting methods the health and fitness industry have fed us over the years. But it is possible to live in harmony with your body and be able to eat intuitively.

But in order to build up a sense of balance in your body and really start to understand it, you have to trust it – and the process. As we mentioned already, reverse dieting will be unfamiliar at first, but trusting in the science-backed research and expertise of your coach is how you’ll get the best reverse dieting results.
