    they can work. I very simply "eat a bit more" for two days. THAT'S IT -- two days and you're back to your system.

    I eat say 25% - 30% more carbs / calories on refeeding days. and again, only two days.

    on at least two occasions I have been "plateau" and in fact "re-feeding" has helped.

    Hope it helps!

    I just started CKD and will be doing a refeed (or carb-up) for 24-36 hours per week to replenish glycogen stores. We'll see how that works out. If I can continue to lift or want to accelerate fat loss, I might shorten the refeed duration or perhaps cut it out completely.

    I got all of this "crazy" talk from MuscleHack. My goal is to drop body fat to single digits again (currently at 13.5%) while maintaining/increasing lean muscle mass.

    I hope we are not confusing BMR with TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

    Do you mean your TDEE is 1800?

    A BMR of 1800 for a woman of your stats is high.
