Hot take: Reverse Dieting is probably as close as you can get to a unicorn diet without literally using magic to defy the laws of thermogenesis.
Yes, just like the Tooth Fairy, a diet that conforms to your exact wishes and works off pixie dust just doesn’t exist.
But – this doesn’t mean you can’t strategically manipulate your food intake to consume more calories without gaining body fat, or even yes, sometimes losing body fat.
Enter the reverse diet.
Originated from the world of bodybuilding and popularized by people like Layne Norton. Reverse dieting has caught the attention of many people looking to gain muscle and lose fat, all while eating more food than they were before.
And while it sounds too good to be true, there is actual research to support these claims.
In this episode, Coach Bridget Moroney breaks down what exactly reverse dieting is, why it’s not magic (but also the science behind what it does actually work), and how you can go about setting up your own reverse diet.
This episode is coming at the perfect time with the holidays just around the corner in the Northern Hemisphere and so many people looking to avoid gaining weight over the holiday season.
Reverse dieting could be the perfect nutrition strategy for you to not only avoid weight gain while enjoying the holidays, but also set yourself up for some great success when the New Year, New Me crowd rolls in.
