Hi everyone,

I have heard that raising your calories too quickly to your maintenance level can cause rapid weight gain. Is there any truth to this? How quickly can I raise my calories? Thanks so much.

    Yes your body will be a food sponge after being at a deficit for so long, and you will gain more, because your metabolism was slower when you were losing weight

    you must add calories slow and steady, 100-150 calories every week and a half

    Great question. Check out this video on reverse dieting from Layne Norton. He as a PhD in protein metabolism, is a natural body builder, and is a fitness competitor coach.
