Tag: Refeeding strategy

During periods of prolonged calorie restriction, the hunger hormone leptin can drop significantly, causing your metabolism to slow down and making fat loss more difficult. A properly executed refeed day is a strategic dietary tool designed to counteract these negative metabolic adaptations and push through weight loss plateaus.

After 18 to 24 hours of fasting, your body shifts from using glucose to burning stored fat for energy. A deliberate and gradual strategy is crucial to properly recover from a 24 hour fast and ease your digestive system back into eating without discomfort.
