#961: Reverse Diet vs. Recovery Diet (How Fast Should You Increase Calories?)

Choose Hard

NOTE

Understanding Negative Signals during Dieting

During a diet, negative signals like lethargy, low energy, and bad sleep can be confused with poor hormonal health. These symptoms can be a result of low body fat levels or caloric reduction necessary for reaching a goal physique. To differentiate, a multi-day refeed can help understand if the symptoms are calorie-related. If not alleviated, a longer refeed or a recovery diet is needed. It's important to recognize that experiencing these symptoms is normal during a diet and signifies progress towards a healthier body fat level and mindset. Implementing a refeed can help manage these symptoms before transitioning to a slower reverse diet process.
