I see in other posts you're drinking beer again. How did this overall reverse diet work out for you? Were you able to increase calories to a sustainable level without regaining too much body fat?

This form of diet has been the best results for me over the years. I basically shocked my metabolism into working hard again which has been doing the work. Between the two calorie cuts I did I lost 7ish” off my waist which is where most if not all of my fat was. The key after the big cut is to slowly add calories back. So go from 2500 for 6 weeks up to 2700 for a week, then 2900 for another, then back to maintenance calorie intake of 3200. Since then I have still lost another few pounds.

As far as beer goes, I still don’t really drink much. I don’t drink during the week and maybe have 2-3 beers total in a weekend. While doing the cut you cut out alcohol completely which help. Since then I still love the taste and flavor of different beers but don’t go rushing toward them on the weekends like I used to

Finally started a diet myself. Been eating less calories, lifting three times a week and been walking around 10K steps a day. So far down 9 pounds from 187. Happy I’m seeing results.

Awesome! Keep it up! Strength training is one of the best form of burning fat and losing weight from what I have found
