    When to refeed?

    Hi Ollie, Refeed is indeed for when people reach their target weight or if they are planning to have a break from LT eg for a holiday. The point of it is to reintroduce carbs slowly in a planned way over a week so that you don't over fill your glycogen stores and put on a lot of fluid...
