Hey guys, I don't really post on here (or anywhere anymore for the most part) but I do read the site and like the quality a lot.
I was wondering something about the refeeds talked about on here. I'm on a CKD with low calories during the week and one refeed a week. I see some people say they gain 10+ pounds from the refeed but on Sunday morning I had only gained 3.5lb.
However monday I was down 1.5lb, then another 1.5 on tuesday, missed wednesday, and today (Thursday) I was down 1 more pound so I'm 0.5lb. less than the beginning of last weeks carb up (By the way this is my first time weighing myself like this, I generally do it once every 2 weeks but I wanted to see how my weight went down after the refeed. So now I'm barely lighter than last week and it took 3-4 days (depending how you look at it I guess) to hit ''baseline'' (Wednesday) leaving only 3 days to lose weight. Is that too slow?
It seems weird that some here are gaining over 10lb. by the next day but then are back to baseline in 2 days by Tuesday while I gained a third of that and hit baseline Wednesday. Skinfolds as of today are about the same as on Saturday morning.
Main Question: Is it possible my refeed was too large? Should I not refeed this Saturday and wait until next Saturday? By the way it was about 5000 calories and 7-800g of carbs. I workout 4x a week with 6 low intensity cardio sessions
