Groggy60 posted this info on a thread about refeeding. Anyone thinking of "cheating" because they want to try a refeed might be interested. It isn't as simple as eating high carb. Go to the thread "Anyone tried a refeed" and see Groggy60's links explaining the proper way to do it.

There is no point in refeeding for someone that is obese. Their Leptin levels will already be high and they might possibly be Leptin resistent anyway. It is really for people with lower amounts of body fat that are not producing much Leptin.
If you are overweight (not obese), have been stalled, and have tried loosing by eating very few calories some days, then you have likely put your body in starvation mode (very low Leptin levels). A refeed is a way to get out of starvation mode. In starvation mode, your metabolism slows and your body slowly uses up fat and muscle equally.
