RE: Cyclical Ketogenic Diets - My First Carb Day - Keto Cut Day 16
This seems very similar to the carbnite diet protocol!
QOTD: Do you prefer cheat days/carb-up days while dieting? Do you track on those days or just let loose a little?
I mainly do refeed days, in which i decrease fats to as low as possible and increase carbs, sometimes i go and eat 500-1000g carbs in 1 day, from waht i read this has some scientific background to it, it increases leptin levels for a little while which increase the fat loss progress! I normally do them if i find a 1-week plateau in which my weight is constant and i don't see any changes in my body
It is kind of similar. Carbnite is eating carbs on a much more regular basis than cycling. I've done both and have had great results with each diet! Yeah refeed days absolutely have some great research behind them! Cycle days are kind of a version of refeed days - I keep the fat as low as possible and then bump the carbs way up. They're a great way to break through those plateaus!
