You’ve tried every diet under the sun: keto, intermittent fasting, 21 Day Fix, even those detox teas that promise “quick results.” And yet, here you are again, eating 1,200 calories and still not losing weight.
If this sounds familiar, my beautiful Peach, you’re not broken. You’re just fighting against a metabolism that’s tired, overworked, and ready for a reset.
And that’s where reverse dieting comes in — the part no one talks about enough.
The Hardest Part of Reverse Dieting Happens Before You Start
The hardest part of a reverse diet isn’t hitting your macros, or watching the scale fluctuate.
It’s deciding to start.
So many women know deep down that they need to reverse diet… but they keep putting it off.
They buy another “fat-burning” program.
They restart their 1,200-calorie plan.
They try every other solution except the one that will actually fix the problem.
Why? Because starting a reverse diet feels scary.
You’re afraid it won’t work.
You’re afraid you’ll gain weight (spoiler: you won’t, when done properly).
You’re afraid of the unknown.
But that fear? It’s keeping you stuck in the exact same spot you’ve been for months — or even years.
What You Really Lose When You Don’t Start
It’s not just about body fat or calories, it’s about what you truly lose by staying stuck.
You lose:
- Memories with your kids because you’re too afraid to eat the ice cream with them.
- Connection with your partner because you avoid date nights.
- Confidence on vacations because you spend more time covering up than enjoying yourself.
- Energy and motivation because your body is constantly running on empty.
Every “I’ll start next month” means one more round of saying no to your life.
The tough love?
The longer you wait to heal your metabolism, the more of your LIFE you miss.
Reverse Dieting Is the Only Door That Leads Forward
If you’re eating 1,200–1,400 calories and not losing fat, another deficit is not the answer.
It’s like standing in front of a locked door and trying every key except the right one.
That right key — the one that opens the door to long-term fat loss, stable energy, and true food freedom — is reverse dieting.
Reverse dieting is not giving up. It’s giving your body permission to function again.
When your metabolism is working properly, your body finally has the ability to lose fat and maintain it without constant restriction.
“If your metabolism is not functioning optimally, your body can’t lose fat. Period.”
If you need a refresher on how a reverse diet actually works, listen to my episode:
👉 What Is a Reverse Diet and How Does It Work?
Choose Your Hard (and Choose the One That Heals You)
Reverse dieting is hard, but so is restriction.
So is feeling out of control around food.
So is spending your life avoiding carbs and wine nights with your friends.
You get to choose your hard:
- Keep repeating the same quick fixes that never last,
- Or take the brave route that actually changes everything long term.
Because in 6 months, you’ll either be exactly where you are now… or finally living in the body and mindset you’ve been chasing for years.
What Happens When You Finally Commit
When you reverse diet properly (no random 50–100 calorie increases — please, no 🙈), you start teaching your body to trust you again.
Inside our Metabolism Reset Method taught in our BPM coaching program, our clients go from eating 1,300 calories and stuck…
→ to eating 500+ more calories and losing fat
→ while enjoying dessert, wine, and travel…ALL without guilt.
This is sustainable fat loss. This is metabolism health.
It’s not a quick fix — it’s the long term fix.
If you want to learn the science behind why I don’t recommend slow, tiny increases, listen to my episode:
👉 Reverse Dieting: Why NOT to Adjust Calories by 50–100 a Week
The Mental Battle You’ll Have to Win
Even when you know it’s right, your brain will try to talk you out of it.
You’ll question if you’re eating “too much.”
You’ll feel uncomfortable when the scale fluctuates.
You’ll crave the control that came from restriction.
But this is where growth happens — where you build trust with your body and finally see how resilient you are.
You are not weak for needing to reverse diet.
You are strong for choosing to do the thing that most people avoid.
It’s Time to Start
If you’ve been “thinking about it” for months, this is your sign to start.
Because the longer you wait, the longer your body stays in survival mode.
Reverse dieting is uncomfortable — but so is staying stuck.
And you deserve more than another year of burnout and frustration.
