I get this question all the time:
“How long will it take for me to see results?”
And the honest answer is:
It depends.
But let me break it down for you…
Do You Want Quick Results or Sustainable Results?
If you’re chasing fast results, you’ll probably end up:
❌ Cutting carbs
❌ Slashing calories to 1200
❌ Doing endless cardio
And yeah, you might see the scale drop quickly…
But here’s the truth: fast doesn’t last—about 95% of the time.
If the only way to achieve your goal is to suffer through an unsustainable routine, what’s the point? Why reach your goal if you can’t maintain it?
So What Does Work?
If you’re after sustainable results—the kind that stick—expect the journey to take 6–12 months.
Especially if you’ve been:
- Yo-yo dieting
- Chronically under-eating
- Living in a calorie deficit for a while
You’re likely looking at the higher end of that range—and that’s OK!
Want to Feel Confident Next Summer? Start Now.
If your goal is to look and feel your best by next summer (for a wedding, beach vacation, or just because!)—please don’t wait until January to start.
Why? Because sometimes, the first step isn’t cutting calories… it’s increasing them.
Let me explain 👇
What Is Reverse Dieting?
If your body has hit a plateau (and won’t budge, no matter how hard you try), you might need to switch gears and start with a reverse diet.
Reverse dieting is a controlled process of gradually increasing your calories over time to:
- Improve metabolism
- Restore biofeedback (sleep, hunger, mood, energy, etc.)
- Set the stage for future fat loss
You’re not throwing all your hard work away—you’re building your body back up so it can respond when it matters most.
And no, it’s not a free-for-all. Reverse dieting is strategic and intentional. Calories are bumped up slowly—usually every 2–4 weeks—giving your metabolism time to catch up and adapt.
Why Slow Isn’t Bad
I get it—this sounds slow.
But here’s the thing… slow is sustainable.
If it took you three years to gain 30 lbs, it’s not realistic to expect those pounds to fall off in three months.
You know that. I know that. And it’s time we start acting like it.
💡 Patience + Consistency = Results.
Why Fall Is the Best Time to Reverse Diet
Here’s a little secret: fall is actually a great time to reverse diet.
Think about it:
- You get to slowly increase your food intake (hello, holidays!)
- You’re setting your body up for success in the New Year
- You’ll be in a better place physically AND mentally to crush your goals come January
Ready to Play the Long Game?
Sustainable results take time.
They take intention.
They take trust.
But they’re 1000% worth it.
