Today was re-feed day and boy did I need that!
My energy levels were at the lowest point of the cycle and it felt at times
The only thing keeping me going were the grenade thermogenics and coffee.
Today for carbs I’ve had bran flakes (still no porridge), 225g of rice, half a sweet potato, 2 bagels. This along with some semi skimmed milk and a few others mainly containing carbohydrate should see me well for the next three days.
The importance of this re-feed is to spike my insulin levels again, but not enough for me to store the carb intake as fat, but enough for me to burn over the the next three days maintaining energy levels whilst trying to keep metabolism levels high.
There are ways you can naturally increase your metabolism. For me one of the best ways is high intensity exercise eg: hard heart rate springs or resistance training at a lower rep range to failure: heavy weights.
