Reverse Dieting is actually a very new theory in the fitness industry. Listen today to find out what a reverse diet is, the why's behind it, and the hows and how to set up realistic expectations for it so that you can minimize fat increases post fat loss phase.
NEW Optimized training starting August 15th. Sign up HERE to join. New program in Fat Loss group, as well as Muscle and Strength. Both are hypertrophy programming. The fat loss group has some metabolic work, as well as cardio suggestions.
