Hey there, beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter,

a podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I dish you a dose of real talk

and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving

your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get and let's go.

Hello and welcome back to the Embrace Your podcast. If you've been in the fitness or

nutrition space for a while or even if you've spent five minutes on fitness TikTok, you've

probably heard people

talking about reverse dieting. It's trending hard right now and for good reason. When done,

right, it can be a powerful tool for healing your metabolism and getting your body back to a

healthy, thriving place. But here's the thing. Not everyone needs a reverse diet. And I don't want

you getting swept up in the hype without

actually understanding what it is, how it works and whether or not it's something that your

body truly needs right now. So in today's episode, we're going to be breaking it all down.

You're going to be learning what reverse dieting is and actually meant to do and also what

it's not. Who really benefits from it and who doesn't?

And last one at least, how to know if you need one and what to do instead if you don't. Because

reverse dieting isn't a magic fix. It's a strategy. And just like any strategy, it only works when it's

applied to the right situation. Before I dive in, though, I want to share

this review. It comes from strong and rooted. She gave a five-star review and said, Julie always speaks

directly to my heart. It's like she knows exactly what I'm struggling with and gives me the

encouragement, the clarity and the action steps that I need. Her episodes are packed with value

and leave me feeling empowered every time. So grateful for this podcast.
