Reverse Diet Review

What You Should Know

The reverse diet works on the premise that you reverse the order of day that you eat meals. For example, you would have Spaghetti and Meatballs for breakfast and eggs and bacon for dinner. As silly as this might sound, we will investigate the idea behind this diet which has a hardcover book that costs $24.95 to get the outline of the diet and meal ideas.

The author of the book, Tricia Cunningham came up with this idea 8 years ago, when she weighed almost 300 pounds. She lost 170 pounds and the Reverse Diet was born. By eating dinner food for breakfast, a moderate lunch and breakfast foods for dinner, she has maintained the weight loss. She has the book, a comprehensive website and has made appearances on Good Morning America. The premise of the diet is the idea that eating your heaviest meal last in the day doesnít allow you time to burn off the calories before going to bed. That is how you end up storing fat instead of burning it. By reversing the size and order of the meals, you have energy and nutrients to last all day long, and you just eat a smaller meal before going to bed.

List of Ingredients

Not applicable in this review since it uses your normal foods, just presents a different method of eating them and distributing the calorie intake on a daily basis.

Product Features

The product features would be that the main expense is purchasing the hard cover book. Other than that it would be eating the normal foods you eat everyday, just reversing the order to allow you time to burn off the calories. Since there is no product to buy, any thermogenic properties would depend on your food choices and you still would have to control calorie intake, or you would gain weight, no matter what order you ate your food in.

Pro’s

Thereís only the book to buy for menu ideas, so it is an affordable plan.
The author does have personal experience with the diet, so it is not made up testimonials.
You can eat foods you would normally eat and arenít required to buy special ones.

Con’s

Itís questionable how long you would stick with eating your foods in reverse order.
If you take in more calories than you burn, you are going to gain weight no matter what diet you are on.
Most people donít have time to cook dinner in the morning before they go to work, and typically, some people may not even eat breakfast, and still gain weight.
There are no mentions of boosting your metabolism, only burning calories, so you would need to burn more than you take in.

Conclusion

The Reverse diet is a diet you could try yourself if you reverse what you eat at each meal. It might work temporarily for some people, but the thought of waking up in the morning and eating lasagna just doesnít seem normal for most people. You might do better on a long term weight loss diet that involves metabolism boosting foods and supplements or some kind of thermogenic properties for weight loss.
