How many days after deviation can you start refeed?

Hi Everyone,

How many days after having a deviation, can you start refeed?

Hopefully someone knows. I have heard you need to wait between 7-10 days? I'm sure it said it somewhere in my refeed manual but I can't find it there, or anywhere on the site.

Thanks in advance!

Yes my clinic has Told me 7-10 days when it came up in Convo. I remember collie having to do 7-10days in order to refeed also.

I Bee had to make sure she did 7...clinic suggested 14 for me to redo refeed, but they didn't think my body had settled properly either, and I know JC was told she could up to 13 days without having to refeed...so 7 to 10 sounds abut right

Yep I was told a week...........that occurred after my oral surgery, until then, I was deviation free anyway, so my body wasn't too badly out of balance and I don't know if that would change the status quo at all, but my consultant rang head office to be sure and they confirmed a week.........

I don't have any first-hand info to add to this conversation with regards to DF prior to refeed; but Ciors is right - my consultant told me I could go on plan for up to 13 days without doing refeed. If you do the 14th day you do refeed.

Good luck SlimU Let us know what you decide ...

Thank you everyone!!

I have done 15 days of my plan, but because I had a deviation (had some popcorn) about 6 days ago, I was just wanting to know when I could start refeed....thinking of beginning refeed early because I just can't handle eating meat. I'm a vegetarian (pescetarian, eats seafood sometimes), and was planning on eating fish and Tofu as my main proteins but now can't have fish due to the iodine in it. My thyroid is out of wack (hyperthyroid) and the iodine realllllly affects me. I'm about 7kg off where I really would love to be. *Le sigh*

Slim, I deviated just before I started refeed, and I was told 3 days.... :S that's probably not going to help you! Cant remember what I had either. Wasn't a huge amount. But i was due to start - was getting very hungry etc (which is why the deviation!)
Bummer about the fish - there's no low iodine fish? Just an idea....
all the best!

Hi everyone,

in the same boat here. Really couldn't stand the hunger and tiredness and so deviated....so I'm assuming anything between 3-7 days before starting refeed?
I'm due (at least planned) to start on Monday.
So....if I'm taking what I understand correctly, refeed should begin next mon?

thanks
