Fitness Coach Reveals Secret to Avoiding Post-Diet Weight Gain: The Reverse Diet Plan
- •Fitness coach Dan Go explains that regaining weight after a diet is due to not knowing how to exit the diet properly, not lack of willpower.
- •When dieting, metabolism adapts by lowering hunger hormones; returning to normal eating causes rapid water, glycogen, and fat regain.
- •Psychologically, going back to enjoyable foods increases hunger, leading to unhealthy choices because the body and mind aren't ready.
- •Reverse dieting involves a controlled, gradual increase in calorie intake to help the body find a sweet spot without storing fat.
- •Add 50-100 calories per week, mostly carbs, while keeping protein stable, and monitor weekly weight average to reset metabolism.
Why It Matters: Properly exiting a diet with a reverse diet plan is crucial to prevent regaining lost weight.
