Metabolism Recovery Insights

After years of a low-calorie diet, it's crucial to understand that metabolism isn't broken but simply slowed down. Increasing calories while maintaining strength gains is a positive sign.

    • I was at 2400 calories a day, but then decided to cut down to 1900-2000 calories a day for a month and a half. Now I'm trying to reverse diet and am at 2250 calories, strength training 3 times a week, and went from 150.4 to 152.4 pounds in 5 days. Is this normal, or do I need to adjust something?

    • If my weight loss has plateaued at 2350 calories, how would I reverse diet back to 2800 calories without gaining too much body fat and increasing my metabolism before going back down to 2300 calories to cut body fat?

    • If I'm a lean 120-pound female, can I reverse diet from 2800 calories as my maintenance to 3300 calories and then cut back to a manageable level of 3000 calories? What changes might I see in body composition doing this?
