Calling all Chronic Under-eaters! Learn to REVERSE DIET!

This is my absolutely FAVORITE THING to do with my clients as a coach!

🎂Helping women understand that they do NOT have to live at low calories is one of the most rewarding experiences for me & eye opening/life changing experiences for my clients.

😬Client A came to me after tracking macros for a while consistently in a deficit. She knew vaguely about reverse dieting but was afraid to try it on her own after all of the hard work she put in losing the weight.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the first 2 weeks we started in my calculated deficit to see exactly what she was taking in. Then we started her slow & steady reverse diet:
Aka adding calories back IN to our daily macros to get up to maintenance calories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Example:
1600 calories at the end of the deficit
2100 calorie TDEE (maintenance) calories needed
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We start where she ended in her deficit and slowly add in either 50-100 calories via carbs or fats every week or every other week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💕She’s now eating 300+ calories more DAILY & aren’t done yet! LOST 8lbs total and over 6 inches.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(NOTE: some women don’t continue losing weight in a reverse & may even fluctuate up about 1-4lbs but the point of it is to keep off the majority of your weight loss!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪🏻Her muscles are POPPINNNNNN YALL (look at that definition!) because her body is getting the carbs it NEEDS to thrive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❗️Don’t neglect the reverse diet!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re someone who’s constantly eating less than 1500-1600 calories yet lifting weights & are active most days of the week-you need to reverse diet.
👉🏻(Note I said LIFTING WEIGHTS. Your body needs proper physical stimulus to put the extra calories to use. If you’re not lifting then a reverse diet won’t make you look “toned” bc you’re not “toning” (building) the muscle underneath.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Walking my clients through the reverse dieting process is always hard for them mentally because it goes against everything society throws at us about “eat less/move more”, but having a coach to guide you through it can relieve all of that anxiety!
