Refeed

[a creed]

I'm a few days into my CKD, and my carb-refeed will start Sat. afternoon-Sun evening.

My question:

What's the best type of carbs/types of foods to have during the "refeed"?

Should I just buy 10 boxes of Cereal and sit back?

Do I still have fat during this time?
Do I still have protein

Or is it ALL CARBS?

Thanks in advance for any help..............

When you do, are you still dropping BF?

When you do, are you still dropping BF?

yes,
as long as im very strict during the week.

low carb is very hard for me, so it actually keeps me going b/c it gives me something to look forward to. the weekends

it's been all good protein and Flax for me, I am just trying to figure out what would be the BEST foods to have on the refeed day.

Obviously Carbs (complex)? (simple)?
Fat? any?
Still high protein?

 

[SwolK]

high everything! lol

yea keep protien high, fats moderate, and carbs high

Your muscles will destroy whatever you give it... don't forget.. Leg day the day after a refeed is a good idea... or whatever they most taxing workout day is for ya

Some stick to clean foods just ALOT of oats, ect... or have a couple pizzas and enjoy it

Personally... I take one day per week and i just EAT... I never end up eating as much as I think I will, but I dont hold back..... Burger and shake at Steak N Shake... Pizza, wings... regular soda, ice cream... cookies... whatever i get my paws on.

I am SUPER strict during the week and I have had some of the best improvements of my life this way. I think if I cut it down to one Meal, vs on Day... that I would be ok, but damn that whole day feels nice...

 

[a creed]

so as long as I am getting PLENTY of carbs on the refeed day 1/2, it really doesn't matter where they come from?

I don't still eat 6 or 7 meals?

Same Calories?

Refeed can be an all out pig fest... go to the local buffet, get comfortable... take a nap inbetween eating there, lol.

Then go out to Hooters have a few pitchers of beer and 100 piece wings.

Go home, order chinese... 2 Poo-Poo platers

No, you won't eat the normal schedule if you go to a buffet cuz you'll prolly pack in 2,000 calories in that sitting, it'll be 3 or 4 hours before u want to eat again, lol... then chow down again...



Refeed.

That is one extreme the other is normal feeding schedule with a huge carb increase... one's dirty, one's clean... one's more satisfying than the other... different "school's of thought" if u want to think of it that way.

I'd prefer the all out slaughter food fest after being strict Monday - Friday.

no prob bro

Keep h20 high too for all the high sodium meals

Refeeds are great mental breaks for me and satisfy my cravings hardcore... I don't want to "cheat" again for another week after a good one, lol.

Refeed does not mean you can eat all the shit you want to on that day. It means to reload on complexs cards. Like oats,brown rice or sweet potatos. What you are talking about sounds like shit loading. Do you still think you will lose weight. Maybe,but not likely. Look your body will slow down after a few days of no carbs so it is important to speed your metabolism up again. This is done by complex carbs only. Dont fool yourself into thinking,because I eat clean during the week this allows me to cheat all day sunday. Sorry thats not how it works. Cheating is cheating no matter how you look at it. If you are serious about your diet do it right. Dont listen to everyone.They always are looking for reasons to cheat. Just look at there pictures. These are the people giving you advice. I' m not saying my way is right, wait yes I am. Remember cheating is cheating and carb reloading with good carbs is the only way to go. And wish me luck I will be doing the North America this weekend.

if that is the case, then why can I personally eat no carbs mon - fri and then eat like shit on the weekends and drop body fat?

You mentioned it............................

I'm in my 4th day of the Carb Depletion and "everything's" off (w/my body) - even my "balance"....

Will I get used to this?
Will my body adjust after 36hr refeed?
Will I go through this "every week"?

I did it as well... it doesn't mean it's the best or healthiest way to go about it.

There are much more knowledgable people than I on CKD in the Diet forum... I suggest you copy the thread to there for some quality in depth responses.

Click on thread options, since your the thread starter I think you can copy the thread to another forum...

Or just copy paste your specific question if it's not answered here.

i agree, it is best to keep things in moderation. but, if that is the only thing that keeps you going during the week days, then do what ever you have to as long as you still drop bf
