What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macrows podcast as always. I am your

host Mike Milner. Today I wanted to discuss a common issue that comes up really frequently when it when it comes to reverse

dieting and that is a topic that many people are going through right now as

we've approached the summer months. I'm actually

recording this on Memorial Day so it's like 90 degrees and it's hot as fuck

right now. It really feels like summer and I know that Memorial Day weekend is typically like the unofficial start of summer in the states and there are a lot of individuals who want to get lean for the summer and then want to reverse out effectively throughout the summer because nobody likes to be dieting when you have more family barbecues and vacation and travel and

you know the kids are out of school you want to be social you want to do things you want to have ice cream and

enjoy yourself, right?

Like there's holidays, there's all the things over the summer.

And it's not very fun to be restricting and dieting during that time.

So I've talked to a number of individuals. I've been getting

blown up recently in the DMs, which I love by the way. I'm not saying that as a negative,

I'm saying that as a positive.

But a lot of the conversations have been around

eating more, how to effectively reverse,

not wanting to undo progress, making sure that, you know, all of, or even like, how do I continue making progress

during a reverse because I still have body composition goals I want to achieve and I would like to maintain a body composition that I'm happy with throughout

the summer months when I'm wearing less clothes, that sort of thing.

So there is a common issue that I see that prevents people from being successful with their reverse.

I call it metabolic priming, but just for the sake of using a common language, I'm going to be using those terms interchangeably,

although I did a whole episode on breaking down the difference.

When I say metabolic priming, I'm really talking about overall behaviors and habits and stress on the system.
