173: Reverse Dieting vs. Calorie Surplus: What’s the Difference (And Why One Doesn’t Lead to Weight Gain)
In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest fat loss mistakes I see: jumping into a calorie deficit when your metabolism isn’t ready. If you’ve been under-eating, stuck at 1,200–1,800 calories, or seeing weight regain even when you try to “eat better,” your body might need a reverse diet — not another cut. I’ll walk you through how metabolism health impacts long-term weight loss, why reverse dieting doesn’t equal weight gain, and how to know if your body is actually ready to lose fat. 🍑 Caitlen's Coaching, Courses, & Freebies: click me! 📲 Instagram (DM me): click me! 💻 Join my email list: click me! ⭐ Submit a 5 Star Rate + Review for a FREE High Protein Macro Cookbook: click me!
