Hallo
Ich habe folgenden Beitrag gefunden und fand ihn sehr spannend:

Pro:
Wie haltet ihr das? Haltet ihr Refeed/ Cheat-Tage ein? Warum bzw. warum nicht? Sinnvoll oder nicht sinnvoll?

Contra:The theoretical benefits of cheat days are:
- Increased thyroid hormone output. When in a caloric deficit, underfed individuals produce less T3 and T4—both important thyroid hormones that play roles in the regulation of metabolic rate. A cheat day or strategic overfeed is used in part to increase these hormones.
- Increased 24-Hour Energy Expenditure. A caloric surplus from a cheat day causes the body to upregulate basal metabolic rate (BMR). Some studies have shown an increase of 9% above baseline, and it’s hypothesized that more is possible.
- Increased serum Leptin levels. The big one that most harp on. Leptin levels drop while in a caloric deficit (lasting as little as 72 hours), and a periodic bump in leptin coming from a cheat day has several benefits including increased thyroid output, increased energy expenditure and BMR, and overall increased thermogenesis.
Nur mal als Auszug. Der Autor selbst bezeichnet sich ehrlicherweise als befangen .Or so the doubters would posit. Two points to consider:
- Any drop in metabolic rate is unacceptable. As TNATION contributor Shelby Starnes wrote, a 6% decrease can slow things down to a degree that the dude simply can’t abide. This is especially true at higher levels of development, and even more so when a contest or deadline is approaching.
- Those who aren’t depleted in the technical sense are keeping calories too high on non-cheat days. This means that while they’re still getting some benefit of cheating, they’re not optimizing progress. This can be—and is—true of any diet, and so for the purposes of deciding whether cheating protocols work, it must be discarded as user error. Problems with the client are not the fault of the method.
