I reversed diet for 3 months, going from 1800 kcal to 2400 kcal, increasing 200 kcal every 2 weeks. My starting weight was about 77 kg, and I gained about 1 kg from the reverse diet. I then started to cut down to 2000 kcal for 4 weeks. During this time, my period came 2 weeks late, and my weight did not drop much. What am I doing wrong? Should I reverse diet again?
When the guys talk about reverse dieting and they say to go up 100 calories a day, does that mean go from 1700 to 1800 for the week and then go up another 100 next week, or does it mean go up 100 calories a day, resulting in 1700, 1800, 1900 for the week?
Is it normal to gain weight when reverse dieting after cutting calories? I went from 2400 calories a day to 1900-2000 calories for a month and a half, and now I'm trying to reverse diet at 2250 calories, strength training 3 times a week. I went from 150.4 to 152.4 pounds in 5 days. Do I need to adjust something?
