Well On Her Way with Dani Marenburg

99. Scared to Gain Weight in a Reverse Diet? Here’s What You Need to Know First


Listen Later

Are you scared that upping your calories might undo all your hard work? You’re NOT alone. This episode is all about the huge fear most of us face when it comes to reverse dieting and the dreaded thought of gaining weight, especially after you’ve just finished a cut or dieting phase. 

I’m diving deep into what a reverse diet actually is, why it’s the essential (and most overlooked) next step for metabolic health, and how it could be the missing piece you need to see real, long-term results.

I’ll break down the difference between ‘weight gain’ and ‘fat gain’ (because yes, they are totally different things!) and why obsessing over the scale number can hold you back from true body transformation. Plus, I’ll share my own personal postpartum journey and why the scale barely budging is actually a good thing for me right now, and what I want YOU to focus on instead.

This episode isn’t just a pep talk, it’s your permission slip to finally do things differently. So if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but not seeing the payoff, hit play now. Because the real transformation? It’s not just in your body, it’s in your mindset.
