072: Reverse Dieting Explained: How Eating More Can Boost Your Health and Energy


Listen Later

Are you struggling with endless dieting cycles without seeing the long-term results you desire? You might have tried cutting calories drastically, only to find it unsustainable or detrimental to your overall health. Enter the concept of reverse dieting—a strategic approach that might just hold the answer to breaking free from this cycle.

Reverse dieting is more than just a fitness trend—it’s a strategic approach to nourishing your body after prolonged calorie deficits, restoring your metabolism, and fostering sustainable health. In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie dives deep into the concept of reverse dieting, explaining how this method can help support your thyroid, hormones, energy levels, and overall well-being.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

  • What is Reverse Dieting? Reverse dieting is the process of strategically increasing calorie intake after long periods of extreme caloric restriction. This approach helps the body restore metabolic balance, improve hormonal function, and boost energy levels.


  • The Impact of Chronic Under-Eating. Under-eating can lead to fatigue, poor sleep, and stalled weight loss, and many people unknowingly fall into this pattern. Lizzie shares how proper nourishment can break the cycle, improve overall health, and restore vitality.


  • The Role of Protein and Carbohydrates. Protein and complex carbohydrates are essential for maintaining hormonal health, particularly for women. Lizzie debunks myths about carbohydrates and explains why they are a crucial part of a balanced diet, especially for supporting a healthy menstrual cycle.


  • The Benefits of Refeeding. Refeeding, which involves gradually increasing calorie intake, can restore energy levels, improve sleep, enhance workout performance, and, in some cases, even support weight loss.
