If I'm trying to speed up my metabolism from eating 2850 calories at maintenance and want to get up to eating 3000 calories as my new maintenance, can I do a small reverse diet and bump my calories by 50 each week until I hit 3500 calories, and then do a cut of 500 calories to reach my new maintenance of 3000 calories?
