Greetings servants, welcome back to Gaines Fucking Kitchen.
I am rocking my cross and Odin.
That's a sign of unity between Christians and pagans.
I also have The Hammer of Thor and the Cross grants me optimal gains and glory.
And the reason for that is I'd rather focus on the positive sides of Christianity.
I love Christian aesthetics.
I love churches.
I love angels.
I love church music, everything like that.
But that's not what this video is about.
This video is about refeed days.
So I'm sister the Shuppa and we have behind me.
And now it is not a cheat day.
It's a refeed day.
And now you ask, oh, what's the difference?
The difference is, let's look at the articles I have behind me.
Some good old bread, because we all love bread.
I can't understand these gluten allergics or whatever they want to refer to themselves as.
For me, bread is for optimal gains and glory.
Got some milk.
Do you all remember this from my 12,000 calories challenge?
Start Miss Lee.
We also got a good amount of gel ignite.
And now you ask, what in the actual fuck is going on here?
If this isn't a cheat meal, what is?
Now, the difference, if you contemplate what this is, it's basically all carbs, carbohydrates getting in my body.
Now a cheat day is just something to reward yourself mentally.
This is not about the mental reward per se.
This is about replenishing my muscle glycogen.
Because if I have been low on carbs over an extended period of time, a few days, a week perhaps, this also depends on how lean you are.
For me right now, maybe once a week this can be appropriate.
Then when I get back to like 9% body fat, twice a week maybe, a large refid could be appropriate.
It is nothing to do with like motivating myself to have a break from the diet.
It's just about replenishing the muscle glycogen because when you train hard and heavy, your muscles will burn out the fuel like the muscle glycogen which is carbohydrates.
Then you have to take a day and you just push in a lot of carbs in the muscle again.
So you can actually be at a caloric surplus yet not store any fat just because you the energy goes into the muscle instead.
Now the key to a successful carb refid is in keeping it not keeping it clean obviously but keeping it keeping it to carbs.
So you want to have as low a fat as possible.
So I'm trying to get as little fat as possible.
Now this milk will obviously contain a bit of fat.
The start will also contain just a bit of fat and I mean you will get in some fat but try to keep it at a minimum.
So if you have a regular cutting day you have the fat decently high to keep your hormonal balance on top.
But the refiday just low the fat, low the protein slightly but then again like you will probably get in a lot of protein either way so this milk for example.
So this package of milk and if I even drink more milk will land me at grams of protein for the day so I mean you will get in the proteins focus is mainly on carbs to replenish your glycogen and then you will feel you will start to sweat and everything like that.
That's only normal.
So that's basically what a refid is.
It's not a cheat day where you eat everything.
So don't go around eating pizza and stuff like that because that's basically a half fat half carb so it doesn't suit your purpose here.
Simply just get in the carbs.
So I hope that has been informative and I hope you it helps in your fat loss journey.
Anyway my, there's a secret I'll never tell XXXO.
