  • Reverse dieting can be a scary proposition for those who are over weight. The idea that losing is the goal but adding calories is a requirement needs some explanation. Stephen Beaugrand and I explain how and why we use this process to help those who need to lose weight in the long term become healthy enough to do so.

    I reversed dieted (even though I didn't know what it was at the time) when I lost 150# and had to run my face off and eat 1300 calories I felt frustrated and every time I ate more, I gained weight. Once I started making muscle, I started to walk up my calories, and now, I can eat ALOT and still maintain my weight. Now I get it. I was lucky that I did that, otherwise I would probably be back to 300 #

      It took me over a year a little at a time. I ate so little and I was so frustrated. I pretty much walked my cals up about 100 cals a week and watched my weight. I have been able to get it up to 22-2400 cals--I do bootcamp (teach it and do it) 3 days a week, but otherwise only muscle work. My bootcamps are only 1/2 hr.

    • @juliesmith6505
      @juliesmith6505 Před 6 lety +5

      I started reverse dieting (didn't know what that was...) and got up to like 1500 cals. I also found a coach so I could make muscle. She gave me more food and made me do hardly any cardio--I was so freaked out! However, she walked me through the process, and now, I AM heavier, but went from 130 and a size 8 to 145 to a size 4. So weird how that works, with a lot more muscle! I still only do cardio because I teach classes, otherwise, nada, unless I am doing a show. Love eating and love that I CAN eat, versus killing myself and starving myself. My weight has been off for over 8 years now, so something is working.

    I’m trying a reverse diet now, thank you so much for your informative videos about it. They help a ton! I kind of just threw myself back into eating at maintenance (went up from 800-1200 cal and gaining weight, to 1800-2000 cal a day). I was going to steadily increase it starting with 1500 but I just flew by that lol. In the past I lost 65 lbs and maintained my weight loss at 1800-2000, and originally lost the weight at 1700-1400 calories a day on non-workout days. I gained weight again last year because of health stomach issues and I barely could eat because it hurt, barely moved, so I gained 20 lbs. then post surgery once I felt better I added 10 lbs cause I was so happy to eat again! Then I got that weight off pretty easy just building my muscle strength back up to pre-surgery levels. But I’ve still got 20 lbs to go and no matter how low I was cutting my body was staying the same or adding weight. I was worried my body is just so shocked by last years barely-able-to-eat that it isn’t adapting well to a low calorie deficit. In the past I never had to drop my deficit below 1400 cal a day to lose weight. So me maintaining at 1200 calories or less seemed weird. So I just boosted calories up to 1800-2000 again this month. I didn’t gain much weight if any, then 1 lb or less. I’ve been maintaining my weight at around where I started right before I upped my calories. I’m trying to build muscle right now and just maintain my calories around this level so my body hopefully adapts. Then I might try to cut a bit again if needed. But hopefully by then I will only need to cut moderately to 1400-1700 like in the past. I don’t want to get stuck maintaining at 1200 or less calories a day again.

    I reversed dieted in a strict manner, I added 50 calories 1 week and monitored my weight, I ended up gaining 10 pounds while only increasing 200 calories and I freaked out, after maintaining a few months I started a cut to lose that weight and the weight doesn't change! Now I eat much less and heaviest ever but this is after a strict reverse I am lost

  • @tjrugbymuscle
    @tjrugbymuscle Před 6 lety +6

    What about just putting calories straight up to maintenance and going from there? Slowly walking up calories is a tedious process that can still result in the same gain as the jump but with the jump you get rid of the "diet fatigue" effects significantly sooner

    Hii Paul, i have a question for you, hope you dont mind to answer it🙏🏼 so i have reverse diet for 5 months, and i have reached 2100 calories from 1000 calories.
    do you think 1 month is enough to hold my new calorie maintenance before i starting to cut? Because i’ve gained too much in measurement and weight and i cant resist it anymore. My pants wont fit and many people say that i am “bigger” now (not in a good way). Im so insecure right now and so freaking stress, i really want to start my cut, but im afraid it wont working because i have only maintain it for a month. But i just cant resist to hold it for any longer. I dont need that much food excelly because i feel forced to eat everything (im not really a foodie) and i really tired of weight training. I just want to get everything done and back to my normal lifestyle. Im glad i have found your channel, because you really give the right education and information about reverse dieting. First time i discovered reverse diet was from my ex coach and it really my biggest regret last year.

I have more muscle mass than body fat but my fat % is slowly increasing because i eat more calories now.I train 5 days a week. 3× resistance training with dumbbells and 2× HIIT training.After some time i want to lose my gained body fat but i am afraid my metabolism will slow down again.Can you give an advice how can i lose my body fat in more sustainable way?

    Great video. Can you do a video about if one is in a good place with eating, never dieted and doing no cardio, and decides to lose fat (30-50 lbs.) doing a slow cut diet (.5-1% loss/weekly). Once they reach a stall, is it better to do add/increase cardio, or cut cals. When to do each or both. Keeping in mind that this person eats a ton of food and is dieting on the most food possible. thx

    Hi Paul,
    Great stuff as always. Just a quick question. My goal weight (10% bf or so) is mid 170's lets say 175lbs and I have dieted down to 180lbs (12% bf or so) which is great but now I'm under my BMR (1950) eating 1800kcal to lose. Should I reverse diet up then blast it again or try and push through and decrease further/add cardio? I'm starting to find it difficult now...

    Great video, very interesting. I have lost 70 pounds since last July, just 12 more to go. I just upped my calories from 1,600-1,700 to 2,000-2,100 this week. I guess I started a reverse diet and didn't know it. I'm still tracking my macros and staying within what it should be. I'm already down a bit more but I need way more info, way more data to really know what is going on.

    Alright well, I am coming from 2-3 months of just constant binging and over eating, and barely any exercise. I got at my lowest weight which was 127 lbs at 5'5" (my goal is 120) and then I just lost it and started binging like crazy. I went back up to 135 however I tried to control myself for two weeks (not binging) and my weight went back down to 128.. so I really don't know what is going on here (whether I am gaining/losing fat or just water) but my binges were upwards of 3000-4000 calories but mostly from carbs, sometimes just straight whole foods like oatmeal and sweet potatoes. Anyway, is 2-3 months of almost constant over eating/no exercise enough to have "re-booted" my metabolism to start losing fat again? Or should I reverse diet for a few months to see where I am at calorie wise? Before all this happened I was eating 1800-2000 calories a day, lifting heavy 4-5 times a week for about an hour, plus biking/walking to the gym, and some added 10 minute HIIT sessions on upper body days to lose fat. My plan is to go back into lifting 4-5 times a week with no added cardio other than walking/biking to the gym and 1 HIIT session a week to start losing fat.

    Coach after doing a diet and getting to 15% BF, do you recommend having a large increase (3-500 Calories) right after then a small gradual (50 cal) or is it better to just do a small gradual (50-75 cal) week by week? I have seen a lot of videos talking about why you should increase calories right off the bat to get rid of the negative effects of being in a deficit for a long period.

    Now iam trying the reverse diet and i put my calories up to 1600 in 1 month. I gained 2 pounds. Is this normal? And should i put another 100 calories up to now? Or wait a few weeks? Iam really uncomfortable with this weight.
    How long should I reverse? I would be really happy about your answer. Greetings from Germany 😊😊😊

  • @markcoughlan9826
    @markcoughlan9826 Před 3 lety

    I disagree with the concept of reverse dieting because noone should be aggressively dieting all the way down to goal bodyweight. Instead a much better approach is reverse Taper dieting where one is increasing calories in a tapering fashion the closer they get to goal bodyweight. They are still in a deficit but that deficet becomes smaller and smaller the closer you get to your goal level of leanness This way you arrive at maintenance at a calorie amount where your metabolism is at is most efficient at your goal bodyweight because eventually the goal is to arrive at a place where a deficet is no longer required. The closer you get to your goal body weight is where a person should be relying less and less on the deficet they create from there diet and more from doing extra activity in the form of low intensity cardio

    This video is very frustrating.
    Do spin around circles a subject has main core title address each and talk about them individually.
    I got only one information from you I am sure you have a lot of knowledge about what you’re talking about and that’s mainly what’s is ruining your speach because the information is spinning in your mind and you’re not thinking inform of the listeners.
    Hopefully this help you so you can help people.
    And here is additional thing that help you to understand when you were talking I got to accept that cutting calories is not good since you addressed after that I wanted to know the exact solution ( bow that’s how the mind thinks but we all know that the solution is a big subject but nevertheless the mind is in that stage so it’s willing to learn as long as you don’t make the self get board and that’s for professional speakers) but you didn’t give the how instead you called it reverse diet which I can look it up but that’s not convenient and civilization grew best whith making things more convenient. So what can you do to give the solution? put the subject on a peaper and make a concise summary of it and then pic the information that seem like a the following a direct tip, and most general tip but still relevant and specific to the subject ( since people tend to go specific in an idea that traps them).
