    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.

    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...
