If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you should consider a reverse diet:

• Have you been stuck in a weight loss plateau or yo-yoing back and forth with the same 10 lbs?

• Do you feel like you're always trying to lose weight but never really making progress?

• Do you wish you could eat more to maintain weight?

• Are you okay with how much you need to eat to maintain BUT you want to lose weight and your cutting calories make you feel restricted or like you're starving?

• Do you feel as though just looking at a cheeseburger makes you gain weight?

• Do you have to be careful of what you order when you go out for food with friends for fear of weight gain?

A reverse diet is NOT for you if:

• Your cutting calories are high enough that you don't feel like you're starving or too restricted when you're trying to lose weight

• You're happy with how much you need to eat to maintain your weight

You get lifetime access to the course materials to consume at your own pace and refer back to as needed – video lectures, audio files, downloads, and workout programs.

You can choose to start your reverse diet at any time during the course or can even choose to just use the course to learn as much as you can about reverse dieting so that you can do a reverse diet at a later time. Reverse dieting itself may take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months.

While some people do lose weight on a reverse diet, how to lose fat in an effective and healthy way that won't tank your metabolism is outside the scope of this course. This course is solely about reverse dieting. If you’ve already reverse dieted or already have a healthy metabolism, Fat Loss 101 might be a better fit for you.

This course is designed to be friendly to all levels of education around fitness (and all fitness levels). Don't know how to track macros? We got you – Lesson 6.5 walks you through how to do it. Don't know how to do certain exercises? All workout programs link video demonstrations of every exercise.

Reverse dieting speeds up your metabolism to turn your body into a fat burning machine. This ultimately makes it a LOT easier to lose weight AND keep it off long term. While some people DO lose weight on their reverse diet, on average, most people maintain. The goal of a reverse diet is not to lose weight while reverse dieting, but rather to undo all the metabolic damage done by years of chronic restriction that is making it IMPOSSIBLE for you to lose weight now. This is the process that will actually give you the opportunity to see your hard work pay off.

If your metabolism is healthy and you're able to lose weight AND keep it off without any issues, then go for it! If this is the case, a reverse diet isn't for you.

But if you've been attempting to diet over and over and are not seeing results, that's not going to change until you change your approach. Repeatedly trying to "lose weight now" is precisely what has made it impossible for you to lose weight. Repeated bouts of dieting slows your metabolism, making each successive weight loss attempt harder and harder.

I hate to break it to you, but there really isn't a magic formula that will finally come to your rescue and cause all the fat to melt off and stay off. So trying the next new thing is just going to get you the same results as all the other things you've tried. Maybe you lose 10 lbs at first, but then you gain it all back.

This process will just keep happening over and over unless you put a stop to the cycle and repair your metabolism. That's what reverse dieting can do for you. It will make your NEXT diet successful ...assuming you diet in a healthy way, not with a crash diet.

Having extra weight to lose does not preclude you from having a successful reverse diet. In fact, the students of ours who have had the most weight loss on a reverse diet were ones who were more significantly overweight.
