Two Reverse Dieting Strategies
- Reverse dieting means gradually increasing calories after dieting to reach new maintenance or a gain phase.
- Two main strategies exist: hard and fast calorie increase or incremental slower increase.
Leanness Impacts Refeed Strategy
- Being very lean causes negative metabolic adaptations like loss of sex drive and poor training performance.
