Better strength soon after calorie restricted diet

[jamix2010]

How come after a calorie restricted diet, strength seems to increase fairly quickly? Is there a hormonal reason?

If your restricting calories your restricting your energy which is going to have a negative effect on your strength, food is the most natural anabolic stubstance you can take so restricting it will cause a reaction and things will suffer.

Sounds right to me. from what i gather the body is most Anabolic after being Catabolic. for example after a pro diets down for a show they seem to break plateaus and blow up right after when they start there bulk. Almost like a prime. . .

It's just a rebound effect.

Thats what I'm wondering, but they may not actually be stronger than they were before the diet....The blowing up part is likely just water.

I've never experienced anything but a strength decrease from a calorie restricted diet.

I meant after the calorie restricted diet is finished.

Is this not the concept behind "slingshot method," just trying to better my grasp of the terms.
