![]() ![]() but fair warning, I will demonstrate why the scientific literature support for metabolic damage and reverse dieting is not likely to solve the reason your client is not losing weight. SIGMA CLIENT SCAMMED HOW TOIf you want to know more about the range of the metabolic damage, how to determine if metabolic damage exists or how to rule it out, what a Reverse Diet accomplishes and when to use it, then read on. Like I said, metabolic damage is real, supported and quantified in the scientific literature and can be readily solved with a short period of normalized caloric intake but it is the extent of the damage that is confusing Coaches and Clients. When you perform the metabolic math I will show you below, the potential metabolic damage from a low calorie diet will not likely explain why the caloric deficit the client says they are creating is not resulting in weight loss. That being said, your client is more than likely not reporting caloric intake properly for reasons you need to discover. It's just not as severe as you have somehow been led to believe, it doesn't happen in all cases and it is readily resolved by having your client eat normally for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks before metabolism is restored to normal. Let me cut to the chase in case you are not inclined to read the research or consume the educational content contained in this article. In the case of metabolic damage, during the measurement and analyze stages, you will find that Reverse Dieting as a solution doesn’t contribute as heavily to the weight loss answer as most have been led to believe. Our second stage is to measure the extent of the problem if it is identified as an issue, using the data collected in the measurement phase to weigh its significancy to a potential solution. It is part of our DMAIC approach to a health practice ( Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve - Control). This initial stage is what we refer to as Defining the problem subjectively in the eyes of the client and objectively in the eyes of the health practitioner. ![]() SIGMA CLIENT SCAMMED VERIFICATIONVerification through observation, testing, and analyzation are the keys to establishing a professional approach to a sophisticated and complex health problem. The solution they immediately move to is to increase the caloric intake of the client (Reverse Diet) without performing any advanced testing, probing of how the client is tracking intake or exploring the emotional burdens that some individuals carry with them in their never-ending weight loss journey.Īccepting the Client’s input is one step in the first stage of a health practice. The first inclination of the coach is to assume metabolic damage caused by extreme prolonged low caloric intake. More often than not, it is a body composition and or BMI classified overweight or obese individual needing to lose 10% of their bodyweight or often much more. I see the same issue raised regularly from health coaches regarding the individual who is eating a low calorie diet and not losing weight. I have performed over 1000 medical grade metabolic tests on many populations including those with eating disorders. It is more than likely not the answer to the weight loss dilemma you were hoping for.Īs a Physiologist I have been studying and working with metabolism issues for 2 decades. The science behind Reverse Dieting as a solution to metabolic damage is known and quantified in numerous studies, but most health coaches over-diagnose the condition without adequate testing and significantly overestimate its impact. It has been elevated to a catch-all magical solution to a problem that hasn't been adequately defined, measured or analyzed yet. It has become a go-to solution for a new coach when a client explains they are barely eating anything and can’t understand why they aren’t losing weight. ![]() This increase in caloric intake after a prolonged low calorie diet is referred to as a “Reverse Diet”. ![]()
