500 calories more food per day on average. And you weigh 134 stable, but you're like even the same body fat. Cause you built back more muscle. What a rip off to think, man, for months and months and months, I was needlessly starving myself, which is a big deal once. That's why I like it. I think, I don't know. I think we made up this term, but. At RP, we made up a term called diet fatigue.

Months of dieting fatigues you in a big way, and it resets your body and your metabolism to work in a way that is very much against you. If you reverse diet intelligently out of that, you can have amazing, amazing results because you are in a state of incredible fatigue. And a lot of people just think that's how it is. And a lot of people live their lives like that, like supermodels and shit.

They're always starving because for them, it's psychological. For them, if I allow myself to eat more food, I'm failing. And I'm just going to be a fat bitch again like I was in seventh grade and no one's going to love me. And how the hell am I supposed to get free cocaine if I don't look like a model anymore? I'm trying to pay for my Coke? That shit is expensive.

A hundred percent. And also most of the data is on recreationally trained undergraduates who are not diet fatigued. And so, you know, if you have someone diet down like 3% of their body fat and and you show that reverse dieting doesn't make a big difference, well, yeah, no shit. But if they diet down 12% of their body fat, you may see some very different results.

Most data is not collected on bikini competitors or anything like that. And if you do get data collected on that, you can see very, very different results. I think a lot of people who hashtag science, they just don't hashtag science that well. And so they forget that ecological validity is a thing, external validity is a thing, internal validity is a thing.

they basically just read abstracts or read like the last line of an abstract that draws conclusions and assume that this like unanimously applies to every single case. And that's just wrong. It's just sciencing bad. Science is a small sliver into the truth, but it is not like this just giant, like, you know, telescope that shows you everything.

So it's a huge part of the equation, but it's not a standalone, a thing you can rely on. And, and, It's dope if you're a fucking pencil neck motherfucker and you've never lifted a lot and you can't look a woman in the eyes, even as an adult, to do PubMed searches and jack off a lot and then dunk on stupid meatheads in the comments. It's dope.
