Refeed
I thought I’d share this article I found here on BB. I posted for help a few weeks ago because I was getting NO WHERE with my weight loss no matter what I did. Everyone mentioned refeed and I had no clue what they were talking about (newbie here). This explains it a little more and it does work.

When I first tested a refeed I did it unintentionally. I was eating a daily calorie intake of 1500 calories and my online PT kept raising it as I kept hitting stalls. Every time he raised it I would lose, hitting new lows. NOW it makes sense to me.
After obtaining the feedback from my bodybugg, I’ve come to the conclusion that if I sat on the couch all day I’d burn over 1700 calories - BMR? Close enough, aye? So 1500 calories was way too low. Now that I know this I shoot for at LEAST 1700 calories.
Anyway, I like how this article explains how to recognize when you need a refeed. I’m curious to see how my weight loss may speed up now.
