Implementing a new consistent behavior that you hope will lead to a life changing habit can make you feel like a salmon swimming upstream. You are constantly fighting the current of your own mind as you work to establish this habit.
In all honesty, most of us would rather the habit fairy show up and magically leave the habit under our pillow. We want it all and we want it now!
You will have to make sacrifices, i.e. time, food, Netflix marathons, money, etc. Unlike trying to fly a space ship to Mars if you are looking to lose fat, add muscle, get in better shape, or eat better your biggest obstacle is going to be you. So you have to hustle harder than your inner negativity. Hustle so hard that you leave the negativity in the past. If you can hustle and make this a real commitment for 6 months and give it the majority of your attention, you can turn your life around completely.
In a nutshell, a reverse diet is a protocol where you slowly add calories back into your diet after you have been in a long period of caloric restriction.
Instead of dropping an atomic bomb of calories into your system and expanding like a mushroom cloud of fat and water retention post diet, a reverse diet Jedi mind tricks your body into accepting the increased calories.
