Start TODAY member Tara Watson learned the importance of rest the hard way: She was diagnosed with Lyme disease and couldn't exercise for a year. But after falling victim to the diet mentality that had her chasing the scale for two decades, the experience changed her mindset. "It is a tough shift when you focus your whole life on weight, to let that go and say, 'There's something more important — that's choosing to live my life every day in a healthy lifestyle, not in a diet lifestyle," she says. While we're on the topic of dieting, a new trend is making the rounds on social media. Dubbed "reverse dieting," influencers claim the diet after a diet can help trick your metabolism and prevent weight gain. Does it really work? Plus, think making veggies is too time-consuming? We're about to blow your mind: You can quickly cook up a batch of any seasonal veggie in five minutes using this quick-roasting method. When it's this easy and delicious, there's no excuse to not eat your veggies! |

Weeknight meals are all about convenience. And you can't get any easier than whipping up a quick batch of veggies to serve with rotisserie chicken. We love asparagus, but if you aren't a fan or it's not on the shelves at your grocery store, you can sub in the veggie of your choosing in this easy pesto recipe. Yes, you heard that right: You can cook up a batch of any seasonal veggie in five minutes using the quick-roasting method. If your meal doesn't feel complete without a starch, serve it with quinoa.

Can reverse dieting really trick your metabolism and prevent weight gain? |
Losing weight (and keeping it off) is a tough nut to crack, especially since weight loss and maintenance is so unique to each individual. But social media is abuzz with videos promoting a new way of eating that seems to turn dieting — and weight maintenance — on its head. Dubbed "reverse dieting," the eating trend is a way to train your metabolism to eat more food and not gain weight. Dr. Lilian de Jonge, associate professor at the department of nutrition and food studies at George Mason University, tells TODAY.com that reverse dieting often involves adding back 50 to 100 calories per day — mostly in the form of protein — in weekly steps. In theory, reverse dieting can help you gradually liberalize your diet and find the calorie level where you can comfortably maintain your weight. The promise of eating more and maintaining weight loss is alluring, but does it work? Find out if reverse dieting can really "trick your metabolism." |
