New Cut Diet - NO IDEA what to do on off days! NARK I NEED YOU!

[Damienm05]

Thanks for the feedback man! Let me make sure I understand what you're saying here. As for the pizzas - I'll hold off until I can do a bulk diet, and maybe cheat now and then during that. I know I can't do it now, my body just sucks like that. MG obviously has it too good, lol!

Now - you're assuming i'll refeed on a workout day. My question is, does it matter? Is a workout day more beneficial to refeed on than a non-workout day?

When you say 80g carbs in my first 4 meals - do you mean spread out across 4 meals, or 80g per meal? I'll stick with all complex if I refeed on a non-workout day, or i'll throw in some simple PWO as you suggested if on a workout day.

-If anything, I'd imagine it's better to refeed on an off-day as to fully replenish glycogen reserves. If you do workout though, don't do cardio. I don't see a problem with lifting on a refeed day.
-80 grams per meal.

Thanks Damien - that's all I needed to know. I think i'll go with a refeed day on the weekend, probably Sunday so then I won't feel bad for 2 days in a row, and get right back in the gym on Monday hopefully feeling nice and strong from the refeed.

Looking forward to carbing up!

I hate carbing up because even though I know it's beneficial and I'll be better off because of it in a couple days; I always feel so bloated the day after.

I hear you, it's that mental crap again, lol. I'll expect to feel bloated, fat, heavy, etc. and I won't even bother stepping on the scale the next day. But I AM hoping that with those perceived 'negative side effects', i'll also feel very strong the next day, which happens to be chest day - I need to move up on that bench already!

Why no cardio? I was thinking do cardio in the am on an empty stomach and then pro/carb meal right after and 4 more through the day.
