I myself do a re-feed once a week do mine on wed.
Actualy don't look forward to it makes me hate carbs by afternoon.
But it's working.

do people here on a low carb diet use the refeed theory or the cheat meal day theory or both? if so how do you structure it into your week

Both but it's pretty dependent on the dieter.
What's your diet look like in terms of macronutrients?
Lol you must really load up on carbs then! I can't go long on a low carb diet, even with high carb days every 3 or 4 days.. Just get to low on energy.

out of curiousity, how low is everyones daily carb intake? i estimate mine to be around the 30 grams or less zone, i literally only eat Broccoli, hardboiled eggs, and either chicken/beef/pork/turkey/fish... and on refeed im all about macaroni and spaghetti and potatos yum
if i was on CKD I'd probably be very very close to 0g of carbs as i only eat meat/fish/eggs/chicken on CKD and choose to get my vitamins, minerals and fibre by supplemental sources, its not the healthiest option but i rarely do CKD for more than about 6 weeks anyway.
as my strength gets too low so i generally do carb cycling.
but i use cheat days and refeed days as one in the same

I've read that a cheat day gives a spike in your calories and will ultimately help you lose weight (you'll gain a kilo or 2 on that day though!). That's what's spoken about in The 4 Hour Body anyway...
