How to Know You Should Refeed On a Ketogenic Diet?
I am on a low-carb Atkin's style diet (please don't post whether or not you agree with it) and I am doing refeeds every 3-5 days. I have dropped 20 lbs. in the past 3.5 weeks or so doing this style of dieting. And my refeeds are 4-5 hours.
Anyway, today is my 3rd day and today in the gym I was DRAINED. I am thinking maybe this is a sign that I should refeed tonight?
Are there any other ways to tell?Stats!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

are you certain it was the low carbs that made you feel drained? maybe you just had an off day?

i haven no idea really where i read that. it was on one of the many boards that Lyle used to visit, maybe you could check out MFW if the archives are still around, it also might have been on the HST forums. Originally Posted by grant

this was a good 2 years ago or more so i'm sorry that i can't be more specific."The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." -Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate
