I posted about refeeds a while ago, although some people had
arguments
against them, I had several refeeds, every 10-15 days. I was worried
about
cancelling out the effect of the calorie restrictive days but, to my
surprise, even eating up to 3,500 cals on such days didn't seem to
affect
the weight loss at all. There are psychological reasons for them
(like you
say, life sucks without them) but as far as your body is concerned,
you seem
to need them more if you restrict calories too far on your diet days
and if
you're not really fat.

If you want to get most out of your refeeds, you may wish to limit your
fat intake and consume foods with a high glucose content (e.g., sugar)
to substantially increase your leptin levels.
