Jodi or anyone else. I researched refeeds both here and on other sites and I have a pretty good understanding of what they are and many of the rules. My diet is basically low carb. On lifting days (5) I consume anywhere from 75 to 130 grams of carbs, and off days (2) I consume anywhere from 40-75. I was just wondering if a refeed is totally necessary. I just had one last saturday. I ate box of 75% reduced trix cereal and about 8 low fat eggo waffles along with the necessary protein for the day. I know that eating low carb like this can cause loss of strength so if a refeed is necessary I guess I will go on doing it once a week. Does that sound right?

I look at refeeding 3 ways. 1. You are lacking energy, you are tired and lifting is becoming difficult - It's time to refeed. 2. You are really, really low bodyfat and carbs are low and leptin is dropping fast - It's time to refeed.
3. You keep your carbs moderate but you are trying to build muscle - You need to refeed.
If you don't feel you belong in any of these categories then I see no reason to refeed.

Yea I understand all of that. I am 6ft 170-173 bf 8-10%. Is that bf low enough to have to refeed. The bad thing is I am really strict about my diet due to past experiences. The thing is when I refeed I feel guilty even though I know I am helping my body out. So I was figuring that if I did a refeed that is just enough to restore my levels of leptin, would say 2800 calories from carbs be enough. I want to get my levels up to there full amount to get my body burning fat again but I only want to do it by eating the minimum number of cals/carbs to do that. Thanks for the help.
