Hello Kettlebell queen! In this episode, I'm breaking down reverse dieting—the process that saved my sanity and my metabolism after months in a deficit, and why it might be the missing piece in YOUR fitness journey.
What we're diving into:
✨ What reverse dieting actually is (and who needs it)
✨ My personal reverse diet experience and what I learned
✨ The science behind gradually increasing your calories
✨ Why most people are terrified of eating more (spoiler: it's not rational)
✨ Following the plan even when your brain fights you
✨ The mental health aspect nobody talks about
✨ Dealing with weight fluctuations like a boss
✨ Overcoming the fear and embracing more food
The truth bomb: Your relationship with food and your body doesn't magically fix itself when you hit your goal weight. The reverse diet phase is where the real work—and real freedom—begins.
I'm getting raw about the mental and emotional challenges of going from deficit to maintenance, why patience and consistency are everything, and how professional guidance literally changed my life. If you're coming out of a cut or terrified of eating more food, this episode is for YOU.
