[douglasmich]

Well i have been cutting for 8 days down and i went from 190lbs to 186lbs ( water weight).
I tried out a refeed day today and now im back to 190lbs.

is this right haha? if that happened every week i wouldnt get anywhere

refeed doesnt make you gain considerable weight (i guess other than water weight which doesnt even matter)

okay, so should i keep calories to the same for another week to see if i lose 1lb, if i lost water weight at first does that mean im in a deficit??

did you weigh yourself the morning after??

after you had pissed ect.???

waterweight loss does not necessarily mean you are in a deficit.. though it may be an indicator

you probably dont need refeeds if you just started your cut

what are you eating? chances are you should just keep your calories the same and keep watching

how fast did you gain on 3700?

your plan is prob fine though, dropping 100 cals a wk should get you to the sweet spot pretty fast

Not fast it was only a 300 surplus, went from 165 lbs to 190lbs in 6 months and still kept a slight 6 pack

[douglasmich]

the next day I'm the morning I was 188lbs

Does that mean I lost 1-2lvs of fat?

I hope I lose 1lb this week I need this cut underway

Weight fluctuations can happen depending on what type of food sources you're eating, etc. Don't worry about it. Also, there really isn't a big need for refeeds unless you're just having them for sanity purposes.

one thing you can do is minimize your water intake on refeed days so you dont gain to much on those days, just drink a little when you are thirsty.
