Reverse Dieting Beyond the Scale
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we dive into the qualitative findings from our USF Reverse Dieting Study to compare how three post-diet paths—reverse dieting, straight to maintenance, and a looser/intuitive return—actually feel. We cover hunger, fullness, adherence, energy, training performance, etc. If you missed Part 1’s numbers on weight regain trends, catch that first then come back for the human side of the data.
