Reverse dieting offers a structured approach to address these issues. It involves gradually increasing calorie intake after a period of calorie restriction, aiming to restore metabolic function and support muscle rebuilding without excessive fat gain. This method is especially relevant for older adults, as preserving and regaining muscle is crucial for maintaining strength, mobility, and overall quality of life.</p>
