When and for who are these appropriate? If I missed a post on this already, you can just point me in the right direction.
Thanks

    Generally speaking, they are for already lean people trying to get leaner, usually in the context of a bodybuilding or fitness competition. These people are trying to sidestep the metabolic and hormonal issues that come along with a low calorie/carb diet by having periodic, controlled periods of higher carb intake.

    Hmmm. I guess I've been doing it wrong. I've been having refeed days every day and haven't been getting any leaner at all :huh:
