    I'm no expert at all but just something that I've been looking into based on suggestions from a nutritionalist and a gym manager.

    Refeeding generates more leptin and cortisol which boost metabolism. I don't know if that's what happened here but it could be the answer. While it still operates on an average of CICO it allows for refeeding days where you eat your full calorie allowance and therefore boosts the hormones that control appetite and metabolism.

    I never heard of this until recently. It still relies on a calorie deficit though all in all (well for weight loss).

    That's bro-science, plain and simple.

    Leptin and cortisol are not bro-science. They're actual science.
