When I started working with Carly, she introduced me to reverse dieting, a concept I had never heard of. We gradually increased my calorie intake from 2200 to 3240 calories. Surprisingly, I dropped 7 kg and lost 10 cm from my waist while eating more. I plateaued at 3240 calories, my maintenance level, and now I'm on an 8-week cut, having lost an additional 1 kg in three weeks while eating 2700 calories.

18 months ago, I decided it was time for a change. My training was going well but I wasn’t feeling the response I wanted from the work I was putting in. I felt tired and sluggish, and I knew that nutrition was the missing piece to the puzzle.
