Let’s Get One Thing Straight…
Beautiful Peach, eating more is not the same as reverse dieting. I repeat: not the same. If you’ve tried bumping your calories and felt frustrated with unexpected weight gain, your body isn’t broken. You probably just jumped into a calorie surplus before your metabolism was ready. 😬
Let’s break down the difference (with science)) so you can stop spinning your wheels, and finally start seeing real results with your fat loss and metabolism health goals.
A Calorie Surplus = Chaos Without Strategy
If you’ve gone from 1200 to 1400+ calories overnight, that’s a calorie surplus. Even if it’s a “small” jump, your metabolism—especially if it’s been slowed down from years of dieting—doesn’t know what to do with the extra food yet. So it does what it’s designed to do: stores it. As fat.
The result?
Bloating, weight regain, low energy… and a whole lot of frustration.
A Reverse Diet = Strategic Metabolic Rebuild
A reverse diet is not a calorie dump. It’s a strategic, gradual increase in your macros that works with your body’s biofeedback. It’s science-backed, rooted in metabolism health, and it gives your body time to adapt. 🧠✨
Think of it like dripping water into a sponge instead of dumping a whole bucket—your metabolism gets the chance to absorb and respond without going into panic mode.
Inside my Macro Calculator and coaching programs, I help my clients find those exact macros that support this process, without any unnecessary weight gain. 🎯
Why Most Diets Fail (And Why This Works)
If you’ve been under-eating, over-exercising, or hopping from diet to diet (hello “tried every diet under the sun” girlies), your metabolism needs love. A reverse diet helps you:
✅ Improve digestion
✅ Boost energy & sex drive
✅ Heal hormone imbalances
✅ Get OUT of the fat loss plateau
✅ Actually lose fat when your body is ready
And guess what? That fat loss phase gets soooo much easier after a proper reverse diet.
The Mental Shift You Need to Make
I get it. I remember bawling on the floor, terrified of weight gain when I first started. But what if you didn’t have to feel that way? What if you could feel empowered, educated, and confident while tracking macros?
That’s the magic of doing it the right way.
If you’re not sure whether you need a reverse diet (or how long it would take), my Heal Your Metabolism Starter Kit will help you figure that out. You’ll even get an exclusive tool to map your full timeline!
TL;DR — Here’s Your Roadmap
- Custom Macros First — No more MyFitnessPal guesses. Start with accurate macros that reflect your real metabolism.
