Hey @halcyondaze, I've recently made some serious dietary changes due to a Candida overgrowth - no sugar (even fruit), no yeast, no alcohol. Low carb also, although I haven't been able to get into ketosis, I don't think. I think I'm eating just enough carbs to keep my body from shifting fuel source. It's been about two weeks though, and I feel great with minimal cravings. I did really want a beer today after stacking wood though!

Anyway, I'm curious about this "re-feed" to refill your glycogen stores. How do you know when you need that and what is it? Any direction you could point me in would be great, websites, resources, etc.

I challenge anybody out there to eliminate sugar, yeast, and alcohol for a week and see how they feel. It is amazing how pervasive added sugar is....so hard to avoid, but it's worth it. Now, I am really missing the fresh plums that are just ripening on my tree, but this is a critical time to get my gut microbiome under control and so I will just look forward to eating fresh fruit again some other time.
