Can you actually "eat more to lose weight" (as the fitness influencers claim)?

Well...yes! But it has nothing to do with reverse dieting, ending "starvation mode," or fixing your metabolism.

The fundamental truth remains: you need a calorie deficit to lose weight (and thus fat). But there's a legitimate way to increase your food volume while maintaining that deficit.

Discover 5 science-based strategies to fill your plate and feel satisfied without sabotaging fat loss...because the best diet is the one that you can stick to!

Main Takeaways:

  • We still live in our universe: a calorie deficit is required for fat loss
  • There are legitimate, science-based strategies to eat more food volume while maintaining that deficit
  • There are many ways to increase food volume, and some have bonus effects (like triggering your fullness signals)
  • The most powerful results come from combining multiple volume-maximizing techniques
  • Optimizing food choices is key to sustainability during a fat loss phase
