                                Prolonged dieting can cause adaptive thermogenesis, a natural metabolic slowdown, as your body resists fat loss. Understanding how much should a refeed day be is a strategic tool to temporarily counteract these effects, replenish energy stores, and help break through weight loss plateaus.
