Reply With QuoteI think you should reconsider your diet. I don't think carb depletion is right for you. I think you would better off mentally and physically doing a 40/40/20 and skipping depletion/refeeds all together. It sounds to me like you have some blood sugar issues. Have you ever been tested?
Another carb/up refeed question..

Another carb/up refeed question..
Im sorry for all these stupid questions on my refeeds but Im just trying to get this stuff right the first time.
Here is the scenerio:
I was on my fourth depletion day yesterday. By the early evening I had already had my assigned amount of carbs and I just felt sh$tty. Shaky, blacking out when I stood up , dizzy (drunk feeling - normally good - but not this time!)
I was in the middle of my dance review, (I perform on weekends) so I ate a jolly rancher and felt WAY better. I had planned on doing my carb up today. After the show I was fine for a while and then I just felt sooo hungry for carbs . I ignored it and ate some protein and attempted to wait for my planned HI day.
It happened again and I had to drink 20 grams of soda pop (I know thats not good. I had a bowl of oats 1/2 cup and prtein and went to bed.
I know this was not mental because I dont feel like eating crap, I rarely want to cheat, and binging isnt really an issue with me.
My questions are :
* do these sound like signs of needing a refeed ? (just tryin to be sure)
* should a person WAIT for these signs before refeeding or should I just have a set schedule like every fourth day .
* Did I do the right thing by trying to force myself to wait until today or should I have just went with it and started my refeed late at night like that?
For those who dont know .. Here is my schedule.
5 days at 40 min (pre breakfast) CARDIO - planning on a decrease here
3-4 days 1 hour weight training.
I lift as heavy as I can 8-10 reps.
Female, 5'3 117 pounds. 17% BF

Well .. Ive tried 40/40 /20 and I dont drop fat..
I dont have these problems every day. Only by the third or fourth day which is why I thought my glycogen stores were too low.
Ive been tested but not a glucose tolerance test. Just a fasting blood sugar test and it was fine.
Normally I feel great.. Its only if I go NO carb or the scenerio above..
If I would of had my refeed like I should have and not tried to push it another day I would have been I dont think it would have happened.
Do you think thats what happens to people when they are carb depleted?
thanks Jodi for all your help by the way!

It doesn't happen to me. I can deplete for several days, (up to a week last year) and I was fine, tired but fine. I really don't think this diet is safe for you

Hmmmmmm..........Have you looked into carb cycling? There is only 1 day of depletion then a day of carbs and 1 day depletion etc...... It can always be manipulated to suit your fat loss needs.
