The Stronger By Science Podcast
Refeeds and Diet Breaks - Is There a Cheat Code?
People have been wondering, did you guys forget that re feeds and diet breaks exist? Definitely not. We just didn't want give them their own separate udin i didn'tididn't want to give them its own separate mode of operation. But they are totally doable. They might have some potential in certain situations. There's certainly never a disastrous choice to make.
Today’s episode begins with some good vibes from the Road to the Stage, Road to Enlightenment, and Feats of Strength segments. After that, Eric shares a research-heavy update on diet breaks and refeeds, followed by a Tech Support segment in which Greg discusses food databases and some practical tips for easy and efficient food logging. That’s followed by a Q&A segment featuring questions about topics including sleep, sodium, fructose, accuracy of self-reported food intake, managing exercise and nutrition during vacations, and much more. Finally, Eric and Greg graciously and nobly accept defeat while recapping the final results of Fat Bear Week 2021.

- Simple question(s): recognizing needs will vary by person, how critical is adequate sleep to gains? To body comp? And are negative effects more acute or chronic? (2:02:08)
- Much of sport science studies are conducted on young males. Are there any studies/areas in particular that we have reasons to think female physiology would give different results? (2:13:10)
