Reverse Diet is the term used for strategically increasing your food up to "Eating Enough". (Note! Eating enough is the first step to changing your body composition). I think everyone needs to know what this is, especially if you 1) Were just in an intentional Diet or 2) Are lifting weights and want to change your body composition. Reverse dieting is how you don't gain body fat back after a diet phase, nor gain body fat when you strategically eat enough. In this episod...

However, there are 3 major factors that you always want to consider when thinking through your training. In the episode, you’ll learn these along with how to consider days per week, time ...

Cheat the system, make it easier for yourself by creating your own meal plan. You'll want 2-3 options for each of your meals and snacks.

I have also been in a similar boat which left me never truly making body composition changes, questioning everything on my plate, and honestly uncertain on how it worked besides following a few rules and "hitting macros". I understand the desire to learn this on your o...

It is frustrating when you're lifting heavy (maybe even doing 2-a-days), tracking your macros, hitting high protein, and still don't have the shape that represents it.
