What is flexible dieting? Flexible dieting, simply put, is the tracking of protein, carbohydrate and fat to change your body composition. Flexible dieting is designed to fit around your lifestyle and preferences. You can go for a meal with loved ones, or enjoy that treat that you crave, without worrying about going off track, as long as foods fit within your daily macronutrient and calorie goals. Flexible dieting helps to create a healthy relationship with food and takes the worry out of dieting. Theres no cheating or eating the wrong or dirty foods. Without the guilt, theres less stress and fewer urges to binge or get off track! How is flexible dieting different to traditional diets? Well, very low calorie diets often created by the removal of entire macronutrients (carb-free diets such as Atkins, and the traditional low-fat diet) mean that weightloss will occur in the short term, but when cravings and real life kicks in, weight is almost always gained back. Flexible dieting also plans for the long-term, and the months and years after a lower calorie diet, ensuring that you can recover and keep the weight off! What is reverse dieting? Reverse dieting is quite simply a period in which calories are increased to maintenance levels or above after extended periods of caloric restriction, essentially you are ‘reversing’ out of your diet, however weight gain is not a goal of reverse dieting. The goal of reverse dieting is to increase calorie intake as high as possible whilst limiting weight gain. It is most likely that an increase in calorie intake along with carbohydrates will cause added water retention and likely weight gain however the gradual nature of the increases prevents significant fat gain. This increase in calorie intake shall serve to maximize your metabolic capacity, making subsequent fat loss efforts much easier after a reverse diet. bshaefit for plans
