Reverse dieting it sounds like a diet turned upside-down. But reverse diet actually means to eat more and do less. Basically it is a diet where you increase your metabolism by adding calories back into your diet while reducing cardio session instead of cutting calories and spending too much time on the treadmill. However there is more to reverse dieting. So you must be patient and strategic if you want to maximize gains in metabolic rate without storing a ton of body fat. To adjust your metabolism you have to make slow deliberate changes rather than cutting out cardio overnight
