Have you ever finished a calorie deficit and thought, "If I start eating more, I'm going to gain everything back"?

You're not alone and that fear has very little to do with food.

In this episode, Christina Hathaway dives into the psychology behind reverse dieting and explains why so many women struggle to transition out of a calorie deficit, even when eating more is exactly what their body needs. Using a real client story, she unpacks the mindset shifts that make the difference between maintaining your results and falling back into the restrict-binge cycle.

You'll learn why reverse dieting isn't permission to "eat whatever you want," how maintenance calories actually support fat loss in the long run, and why the scale is often the worst way to measure progress. Christina also shares the most common mental roadblocks she sees with clients and how to navigate each one with confidence.

If you've ever been afraid to stop dieting because you thought it meant starting over, this episode will help you build trust in your body and understand why eating more can actually move you closer to your long-term goals.
