i know this is probly a dumb question but im doing a low carb diet and ive heard refeed a couple times, what is that? i gather its a day every so often that you eat carbs and 'refuel' yourself. Flame away

It's what I call a carb load day. when Im on a lower carb portion of my diet every Sat. I'll load up on complex carbs. as much as 500-1000 extra cals.This will keep the muscles full and not flat looking like they can get on very low carb diets......11

Im too tired to go into a lot of detail right now, but I sorta go along the lines with 11, but I use closer to 1000+ GRAMS during my refeed.

how many calories and what macro breakdown are you eating on the days before the re-feed? Is it 6 days low carb one re-feed?

I could use one of those, too. I'm currently doing a 6 day depletion and one day load. Sunday is my day. I eat low GI carbs and lots of them. During the other 6 days it's 400 protein and less than 20 carbs (sugar free popcicles still have 3 carbs in em).
