The diet is over, you've hit your goals, and now what? This is where reverse dieting comes in, and it's one of the most important phases that no one really talks about.

We're breaking down what reverse dieting actually is, why it matters for both competitors and lifestyle clients, and how to do it the right way without undoing all your hard work. Whether you just finished prep or wrapped up a fat loss phase, this episode covers how to gradually bring food back up, what to expect with your body, and the biggest mistakes we've all made along the way.

We're sharing our personal experiences with reverse dieting—the good, the bad, and what we wish we knew sooner. From managing hunger signals to trusting the process when your clothes feel tighter, we're getting real about the mental and physical side of this phase. Because here's the truth: if you can commit to a 16-week prep or cut, you owe it to yourself to show up for the next four to eight weeks too.

This isn't about restriction or staying stage lean forever. It's about setting your body up for long-term success, protecting your metabolism, and building sustainably.
