Refeeding and Leptin

[barnidge]

I was reading Par Deus article on Leptin and it stated that Glucose is best for Refeeding(is this correct?) and Increasing Leptin levels. What foods have High Glucose Content? How many calories over maintenance should I consume and for how long?

 

[110%]

if you went on it says for how long, eat around 12-24 hours 50% over your maintenance in calories, and eat high gi carbs. im sure par deus will give you a much better informed answer within a day, but thats what i can tell you.

Thanks Bro. For anyone: Are all High GI Carb foods the same as far as increasing Leptin levels?

What food would be best to achieve this?

 

[Par Deus]

Some people do refeeds of as long as 48 hours -- if you do that, you should only be about 10-20% above maintence. I prefer going about 50% above for a shorter period of time (like 12 hours).

As for foods, dextrose is the very best, but really any starch will do pretty well also (assuming it does not have much fiber), because you will be consuming large quantities, so you will get a decent insulin spike.

My personal favorites on refeed days are cereal and spaghetti.

Should this also be as low-fat as possible?

Also, how often do reccomend doing a refeed?

If you have not read my articles, you should do so.

That aside, timing depends on your bf levels -- the leaner you are compared to your setpoint, the more often they should be done.

They should be pretty low-fat, but not so much that you can't at least sort of enjoy your food -- i.e. there is nothing wrong with getting 10 grams of fat in a meal. Eating a bowl of gravy is a different story.

haha you and your chinese food bro...heheheh

it taste so good:/ :/

 

[barnidge]

Would Chinese Buffet improve Leptin levels as it does not consist mostly of Glucose but rather fatty foods and protein along with some starches?

Is Cinnamon Toast Crunch w/ Skim Milk acceptable?

BTW, Par Deus I tried to read all your articles but some of the information went over my head. I am sure they were chock full of good stuff. I'll take another look at them again. But the best way of raising leptin is with the Highest GI Food possible?
