Diet Question: TRT + PSMF?

[ronmexico]

I'm a big fan of Lyle McDonald's work, particularly RFL and UD2. In both, he recommends diet breaks to normalize hormones. I've done both pre-TRT. Does being on TRT reduce the need for a refeed or diet break? This question has already been asked on his forum, and couldn't find a good answer. I was hoping someone with experience might chime in. Thanks!

i'm not an expert, by any means, but i have a couple of lyle mcdonald's booklets (rapid fat loss and guide to flexible dieting). i used his RFL to drop 40 pounds in 3 months back in 2010.

my guess is TRT would not change the need for re-feeds. different hormones affected by diet than what we're dealing with in TRT. (ie,leptin)
