If you are counting macros and you are not learning about the importance of reverse dieting and how to properly implement it then you are missing one of the most important parts of your weight loss journey.  Your ability to maintain and rebuild back a healthy metabolism.

Dieting reduces your metabolism! So you have to be sure to protect and/or repair your metabolic rate throughout your weight loss journey. When you do not do this, maintaining your progress is so much harder! 

Sometimes losing weight is the easy part, keeping it off is the hard part! Implementing reverse dieting at least twice a year makes this process possible!  There are three specific times in which you should consider reverse dieting:

1) You reached your goal weight
2) You need a break from eating in a deficit
3) You hit a plateau at a very low caloric intake. 

Important points to properly implement reverse dieting: 

1) You must determine a current and accurate weight range
2) You must slowly add back 100 calories at a time. 
3) Goal is to add back 400-500 calories while staying in your weight range
4) Reverse dieting can take 3-6 months to implement properly. 

In my Lean program teaching my clients about reverse dieting is very important! In the LEAN monthly membership I guide my clients through this strategy to help them break through plateaus and sustain their progress for the long run! 

Ask your questions below about reverse dieting and I will answer them in the following videos!
