Can you start refeed before you reach goal weight?

[sassy123]

i got a email back saying it would be fine to order it early and is a great idea to prepare myself b4 i start. YAY. 5 more kgs and ill order it

Just wondering how long it usually takes for a refeed to arrive?
Is it too early to order it like 5kg before goal weight so that I can prepare myself in advance? But perhaps I will start on it only when I feel I'm ready?

Rakkiizoon,

It depends on the individual clinic as to whether they will order it early. It is best according to what I was told by email to Dr Cohen to order close to goal range as your bloods can change if you wait too long before starting, I beleive they told me I should start within 2 weeks of receiving refeed.

I ordered my refeed 2kgs away from goal weight and I am sitting here fingers crossed that it arrives today

I would ask your clinic but I would also take note of how much weight you have been dropping each week as 5 kgs could be gone in 2-3 weeks and make sure that your blood test are up to date.

I had to go for one of my tests early before they could order my refeed.

Good luck with it.
