First here is a good description of a refeed/overfeed. http://www.ruggedmag.com/index.php?type=Article&i=5&a=1

Just read the non-androgen part if AAS isn't your thing. There are a lot of other mentions of refeeds/overfeeds if you search the forum at rugged.

Somewhere between you and the author things are getting more confused than they need to be.

1. If you are talking refeeds, once a week is what most people start with.
2. Again assuming refeed, just a day.

If we are not talking refeed and you are asking about when he mentions not "chronic dieting" then its not as compicated as you make it. What he is saying is that if you spend too much time dieting then you run down your metabolism and shut off your bodys ability to burn fat efficiently. A lot of my answers would depend on your specific situation. From looking at past posts I can tell you have been dieting for a while, have you taken a break, or have you been dieting the whole time you have been here.

I would go on answering all the questions but I am not sure it matters much. What is happening is that you are reading a lot which is awesome, but you are also trying to use too much info at once. You see it a lot with people and weight routines. They constantly read about the newest and coolest way to structure the program so they switch and never make progress.

Better questions to be asking for now would be more situation specific. If you could give info like how long you have been dieting, how your days are set up (when do you lift, do cardio, etc.), what type of diet you have been following, what have your results been like so far, and anything else that relates to the topic. That way I can help you make needed changes to your diet.

I hope it doesn't bum you out that instead of answers you got more questions in return but answering a lot of these questions is pretty hard without getting specific to the person.

Oh yeah, and you owe me big for making me think about dieting and nutrition. I would much rather be thinking about how I can possibly eat more food or creating cool meal combos like the chicken/burger/chicken (see off topic post about access to advanced forum) [img]smile.gif[/img]
