Not a bad idea.

You don’t want to go so deep down the rabbit hole that you just go on an all out binge one day from cravings. But you do make a good point here, refeeds have become a bit too big of a thing - everybody is using them as an excuse to eat more.

But if you are feeling horrible by all means, do refeed. Then try to survive for another 2 or so weeks before the next one. Your diet is so low on carbs that you can get away with refeeding a bit more frequently.

My cravings have actually been better this week than last, maybe the reduction in calories has just made me less hungry (would fall pretty well in line with your post: Natty on Pennies - #1294 by danteism) Although, I did have a slight pang craving for donuts earlier this evening (I didn’t indulge of course) which is very strange as I have never in my life had a donut that I ended up liking.

If I refeed I think I’d try to hold off for more than just 2 weeks, in part for the challenge but also since my new meal plan involves a bit more carbs than the one before but I’ll let it play out first before I make up my mind. Also, I should update that meal plan with a second amendment, decided to remove 20g of oats to the benefit of 20g extra maltodextrin in my pre-workout. I’d rather be hungry than have bad performances in the gym.

I’ve noticed that you are a very analytical person, which is, in my opinion, a good trait to have when lifting weights is something you enjoy. Makes it much easier to see what works and what doesn’t

I see the same trait in you! My physio says that all his weightlifting friends are the nerdiest people he know’s really. Might be something to that.

Thanks for stopping by the log man, if we don’t see each other around on the forums this weekend I wish you a nice one!
