Never. Refeeding defeats the purpose of keto and interrupts adaptation.
If you like carbs don't do keto.Last edited by Mrpb; 01-09-2019 at 12:25 PM.

I am doing low carb fat loss. Maybe it's not true keto. I was under the impression that when in a large deficit, refeeds are important to replenish leptin levels

If you're not striving to be in ketosis, then yes sure higher carb refeeds make sense.Originally Posted by Hockeyaus33
How often? Depends on your current body fat %, size of your deficit, performance etc.

I think I am at like 12% body fat.
Not sure if it's because of age or what but, I used to distribute bodyfat equally accross my body. Now, my arms, chest and legs stay pretty shredded at all times but my abs keep a layer of fat. Especially in the lower abs there is like a pocket of fat I have never seen before.
It makes guessing bodyfat really hard. I can see strations everywhere but then lower abs arent as visible

At 12% body fat I'd probably refeed at least every 2 weeks, maybe 2-3 days.
If you want some more in depth views at refeeds google Eric Helms on the topic.

OP I am in your same boat, have a good amount of weight refeeding.
Look into carb night/CKD
basically KETO for 6 days, on 7th night post workout your have a 4-6 hour window to pound carbs. I like to eat around maintenance on this day, and fast to save cals for later at night. this raises leptin and restores your hormonal profile.
Keep your fats low and carbs high during this window, then back to keto for the next 6 days.
Vinge girondas steak and eggs diet, and the anabolic diet have very similiar refeeds.
trust me, try them, they absolutely work.
