Frequency and Duration of Refeeding on a Low-Carb Diet
Has anyone ever had success refeeding every other day for 1-hour instead of less frequently. I am just curious because I have been playing around lately with the frequency and duration of my refeeds, and it's pretty interesting.
I have been refeeding for 4-5 hours (low-fat binge style) every 3rd night so far with pretty good results. Now what would happen if I refed every other night for 1-hour? Any ideas?Stats!

My only concern is that how much muscle and liver glycogen can you actually replenish is just a 1-hour refeed?

Depending on how lean you are you may be able to get away with re-feeding every other day like that.

Some good points that you guys are bringing up, and I have to agree. I think that every 3rd or 4th day is definitely a bit more effective. I might even extend my refeed to 6 hours. Just because I want to effectively refill muscle glycogen. And doing it in a very short timespan is difficult to begin with. I just want to completely avoid fat spillover during my refeed, hence why they are so short and intense.
