I think he mentioned the best thign to eat was simple carbs. Dextrose would be the ideal. But I like to actually enjoy my refeeds, so I eat cakes, candies, etc. It keeps me sane.
Goto Chinese Buffet ,stack up on white rice,potatoes,fruit bar,hmmmmmm what else they have ,noodles
CHINESE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE WHOA!!!!!!!!!! i think all that teriyaki chicken on saturday made me go super hard today at the gym ,DB Bench 100lbs like whoa:/ i wanted to go for 130 but stupid mofo was using it:/

I've done this for quite a while, it's nice to see Par has validated it. The only difference is for 5 days (Sunday - Friday) I go low carb / high protein AND low fat other than omega3 supplements. Once it hits Friday I eat between 10-15,000 cals per day (48 hours total) which includes lots of nasty carbs & fat. Hell, I'll usually go through two rolls of cookie dough (as in not even baking them) as a Friday night "snack". This is my maintenance mode - I usually maintain about 6% body fat this way.
Also I crank Iron on re-feed days as well which usually gives me a great workout - better than during the low carb week.

Par is doing that so that he can experiment with gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time.
He refeeds so often becuase his bodyfat is so low and because of what I said before. It is not a matter of whether one can go more than a day without refeeding, but whether it is possible for a certain person. Anybody can diet for months on end. Par is experimented with different styles of refeeds to see what gets the best results. I think he menitoned before that he does about 8 hours of dieting and then 16 hours of refeeding.

Calculations
I did my calculations and:
My maintenance calorie level is 2800 and I have to multiply it for 1.2 = 3360cal
62% carbs = 540grams
18% prot. = 153grams
20% fat = 75grams
"As you can see from the above amounts, that's a lot of Carbs. Protein stays the same and Fat is (relative to overall Caloric level) low.
Carbs should come from simple sources, e.g. Sucrose, Glucose, Fructose, Maltodextrin, etc.
Refilling liver glycogen is important during the refeed, so try to take some Fructose at each meal, e.g. Bananas, Grapes, Pineapple, Dried Apricots.
Take simple carbs at each meal, and switch to starchy carbs for the last few meals of the day if desired (If a 1-day refeed), or simple carbs one day, and starchy carbs the next (If 2-day). "
Im going on my first REFEED DAY this friday... I will let u guys know how it goes
