    Reverse Dieting Post Show

    Research shows over 50% of competitive bodybuilders report body dissatisfaction - and it's strongly linked to disordered eating symptoms. So yeah… we're starting there. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the real truth about reverse dieting - what it actually is, when it works, when it absolutely does NOT work, and the mistakes I see coaches making over and over again. I'm a retired competitor, an IFBB Pro, and I've been in this world since 2010. I've hired coaches. I've coached competitors. I've watched women completely lose themselves post-show. And I've also BEEN that girl trying to figure out who the hell I was without a competition on the calendar. Because listen… bodybuilding is not real life. And you can still feel hot, strong, and confident without being stage lean. 👉 Click here to get your FREE Post-Show Report Card and take a quick 5-minute check-in to see what "prep brain" is still running the show: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/post-show-report-card Join the newsletter for more behind-the-scenes tips, cheat sheets, and practical tools → https://www.bossbitchradio.com/newsletter #ReverseDie #ReverseDieting #ReverseDietAfterShow   Key Takeaways: 02:05 My story: competitor life → post-show coach. 04:00 Diet brain, food noise, and losing your identity after prep. 05:02 Grab the Post-Show Report Card (quick self-check). 07:04 Reverse Diet 101 - what it is and why we use it. 07:34 Reverse dieting into a show (yes, really). 12:25 Post-show weight gain, water, glycogen, and the fear spiral. 14:58 The biggest post-show mistakes. 16:51 Meal plans vs macros - what actually works. 20:05 Why competitors "fall off" after the stage. 23:33 Where coaches miss the mark. 25:51 Diuretics + dangerous post-show habits. 26:19 What real metabolic recovery should focus on. 29:13 Regulating appetite + getting strong again. 32:01 How long should you reverse? 34:36 Identity shifts + post-show body dysmorphia. 39:37 Reverse dieting myths (slow increases vs maintenance). 43:35 A practical post-show reset. 46:24 Mindset + social media cleanup. 50:58 Final thoughts + Post-Show Report Card reminder.

    Tracking Macros Forever Isn't Healthy (And Here's What to Do Instead)

    If you've been tracking macros for years and still don't trust yourself around food… this episode is for you! In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation. I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs. If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit. 👉 Join the Post-Show Reset Event on Feb 24 to learn how to reset your mindset, rebuild consistency, and move forward without extremes. https://www.bossbitchradio.com/reset Join the newsletter for more behind-the-scenes tips, cheat sheets, and practical tools → https://www.bossbitchradio.com/newsletter   #macrotracking #countingmacros #bodybuildingwomen   Key Takeaways: 01:09 Hey, I'm Diane + Why I Help Women Get Out of Diet Mode 02:50 What We're Getting Into: When Tracking Helps… and When It Starts Messing With You 04:38 Quick Plug: The Post-Show Report Card (You'll Want This) 06:09 Why I Walked Away From Competing: Prep Brain, Food Noise, and Rebound Fear 12:44 When Tracking Gets Obsessive: Weighing Everything + Social Life Tetris 15:33 First Show Energy vs. The Long Game Mind Games 18:16 Low Fat, Low Brain Power: When Dieting Starts Wrecking You 21:40 You're Not Clueless - You Already Know How to Eat 23:48 You Don't Need Another Meal Plan (You Need Trust) 24:54 Signs Macro Tracking Is Low-Key Hurting Your Life 26:22 The Off-Ramp: Choosing Freedom Over Control (Start With One Week) 29:00 Step 1: Just Track Protein - Give Yourself a Range 30:04 Step 2: One Meal a Day, No Tracking - Be a Normal Human 33:30 Step 3: Keep Your Meals Predictable So You're Not Ravished 35:36 Step 4: Build Around Protein and Let the Rest Chill 38:59 Recap + Grab the Post-Show Report Card + Pep Talk 40:03 Why Fat Isn't the Enemy: The Peanut Butter Wake-Up Call Links Mentioned:  Click here to get your FREE Post-Show Report Card and take a quick 5-minute check-in to see what "prep brain" is still running the show ➡️https://www.bossbitchradio.com/post-show-report-card  Let's cut through the noise - book your Reset Clarity Call here: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/book-a-free-call   Connect with Diane: Website: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dianeflores_ifbb_pro  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dianeflores_ifbb_pro  Join the Boss Bitch Besties Fitness Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianefloresifbbpro    Freebies: Lower Body Blueprint: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/lower-body-blueprint  Protein Snack List: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/protein-snack-guide  Full Body Training Program: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/full-body-gym-program  Fit Girl Gift Guide: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/fit-girl-gift-guide  My Favorite Supplements: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/myfavoritesupplements

    How to Eat Normally After a Bodybuilding Show (Without Rebound Chaos)

    If you're struggling with food noise, rebound eating, or fear of "normal eating" after a bodybuilding show (or years of extreme dieting), this episode is your reset. We'll cover how to eat normally after prep, rebuild food trust, reduce binge urges, and transition away from tracking macros without losing control. Welcome to Boss Bitch Radio. I'm Diane Flores, and I help retired bodybuilders, former competitors, and extreme dieters stop living like they're still in diet season - so they can stay athletic, hot, and healthy without food fear, food noise, or massive rebound chaos. In this episode, we're diving into how to eat normally after a bodybuilding show, why post-show nutrition feels so damn hard, and what actually causes rebound eating after show (hint: it's not a lack of willpower). If you've ever gained weight rapidly after a show, struggled with binge eating after prep, or felt stuck tracking every bite because you're terrified to stop, this conversation will hit home. Even if you've never stepped on stage, if you've dieted like you were prepping for one, this episode will resonate. This is about repairing your relationship with food, recovering from extreme dieting, and learning how to eat like a normal, confident human again - not someone still trapped in prep brain.

    Post-Show Blues in Bodybuilding: Symptoms, Causes, and What to Do

    Post-show depression is real. After a bodybuilding show, many women feel empty, sad, anxious, unmotivated, and disconnected - aka the post-show crash. In this episode we talk about post-show blues, identity loss, rebound eating, and how to recover mentally and emotionally after prep. I share my own experience stepping off stage after winning my pro card and breaking down backstage. Relief, gratitude, grief, fear, and anxiety all at once. If you've ever felt lost in life after competing, you are not crazy and you are definitely not alone. We get into why post competition depression happens, how extreme dieting recovery plays a role, what peak week mentality does to your brain, and why food noise after dieting can feel so loud. We also talk about reverse diet aftermath, hormones after prep, and why your body softening doesn't mean you "failed."

    Life After a Bodybuilding Show: Why Your Brain Still Thinks You're in Prep

    Coming out of a bodybuilding show can seriously mess with your head - and no one really prepares you for that part. If you've ever dealt with post show blues, rebound eating, loud food noise, or felt like your brain was still stuck in peak week even though the show is over, this episode is for you! I'm Diane - retired IFBB pro and longtime competitor coach and in this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down what actually happens after a bodybuilding prep. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Most post-show plans focus on reverse macros, training, and cardio. What they miss is the identity crash, the control spiral, and the mental health fallout that so many women experience once the structure of prep disappears. If this hits home and you're ready to unwind prep brain and calm the food noise, you'll find a link in the show notes to book a clarity call and see if one-on-one coaching makes sense for you.

    The Retreat That Helped Me Stop Carrying My Past Like a Weight

    Ever wondered what actually happens at a healing retreat? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing my real, unfiltered experience attending a small, intimate women's healing retreat - the kind that isn't rushed, isn't performative, and goes way deeper than journaling and yoga poses. I talk about why I chose a retreat focused on healing the heart, what it felt like being in such a small group (only five women), and why that intimacy completely changed the experience for me. We get into nervous system regulation, breathwork, silence, somatic healing, and what happens when you finally give yourself the space to slow down and actually feel. And yes - this experience directly inspired me to create my own small, intimate retreat for women, so if you've been DMing me asking to be on the list, make sure you're on the newsletter 👀 Spots will be limited!
