Hi Dan,

I did a refeed (36 hrs.) this weekend, and will let you know my results over the next week or so. I have been on Atkins about 10 months, have lost 68 lbs, and have been stalled at 180 for 2 months. Having done lots of research on refeeding, leptin, etc., I thought I was a good candidate for this so I went for it! I ate almost all carbs for two days, and lots of them.. No bad effects, like feeling sick or bloated, though I am up 3 lbs today, which I expected.

I was very apprehensive about doing this, afraid it would start a downward spiral into eating carbs on a regular basis - but today I am back on Atkins and feeling good about it. So will keep you posted about how it works for me. Hope some more people who have tried a refeed, carb-up, whatever you want to call it, will chime in!
