    It's done when you are at a low body fat and are generally carb depleted. You add in a reefed day to replenish glycogen stores and then some.

    You can look at my diary under the notes section every Sunday I have one. As you can see my carbs and macros are cycled throughout the week. It's a more advanced method and doesn't really need to do be done by your average dieter.
