PSMF Refeed

[magdalynaa]

So I've finally made it to a refeed, but I find myself with a dilemma. You see... I usually broke the diet and ate my weight in pizza before I ever got to a refeed. So I don't actually have any idea how many carbs I should be taking in. :confused:

I&#39;m in category 2, and this is a 5 hour refeed. Any ideas on how the heck I&#39;m supposed to calculate my carb intake? Is anything off limits (the booklet says to restrict fat intake to <50g)?

I&#39;m actually not particularly hungry and can&#39;t imagine doing a lot of damage in the food deparment since Texas Double Whoppers are obviously not part of the plan, and that&#39;s really my only vice these days. :p

Doesn&#39;t the book give an outline based on LBM?

Unless I&#39;m retarded, no. Keep in mind, it&#39;s entirely possible that I&#39;m retarded and missed it. :p

There was something in the refeed instructions with regards to carbs about "eat as much as you can get away with without gaining significant bodyfat." And mention of 500-1000 calories. I distinctly remember the direction to keep fat intake low (<50g), but I don&#39;t remember any recommended method of calculating carb intake.

I just got in about 60g of carbs and feel like yakking.

Unless we&#39;re both retarded (which is quite possible :lol: ) the book does not give you a specific outline on the number of carbs to eat.

So how did the first week go? Do you notice any changes?

Yes it does.

It would seem that we&#39;re both retarded. That&#39;s cool, though... I can live with that.

First week is going well&#33; You?

I&#39;m cool with it too :lol: It&#39;s my second day and so far so good. Took E/C for the first time today and I feel great :clap:

Have you started a journal?

I&#39;m thinking of starting E/C. The C part I&#39;ve definitely gotten down by now. :shutit:

I journal at IT. :)

OK please answer a clueless girl this: what is E/C and what are refeeds? I want to soak up some more knowlege here...

[jrb1980]

E/C is a combination of ephedrine and caffine some people use for energy and appetite suppression

refeeds are a "nutritional tool" used by some people who are very lean or who are following very restrictive diets as a way to assist in restoring the body and mind so to speak - different than a cheat day

1. Ephedrine/caffeine

2. Periods of concentrated high carb/low fat eating.
