Eating More Can Improve Health And Sustainability

  • Reverse dieting teaches clients that health isn't only restriction and creates sustainable flexibility.
  • It improves hormones, micronutrients, and the client's relationship with food long-term.
ADVICE

Ditch The Scale During The Process

  • Avoid using the scale during reverse dieting because fluid, glycogen, and muscle changes can temporarily raise weight.
  • Tossing the scale prevents emotional spirals and stopping the process prematurely.
