Free Meals:
A single meal that breaks your diet. Main benefits are psychological. Keeps the sanity when dieting like this so long. It also makes the diet work better, in terms of hormone levels. I recommend a one hour dinner, personally. Eating your free meal for breakfast or lunch can make it very hard to go back on Kimkins for the rest of the day. Keeping it within one hour (like suggested in Carb Addicts book) keeps your insulin from shooting high, and prevents your free meal from a all day grazing fest. As far as what to eat, the healthier the food the better of course...but essentially eat what you want to. Period.When you do a free meal is up to you. Lyle MacDonald suggests 2 a week if you have a BF% of 25%or more. I do mine after every 3 whole days of Kimkins. You can do yours every 5 or every other day, whatever gets the best results for you.
Refeed:
Refeeds are exactly that, refeeding the body. You can do a refeed for 5 hours, a day, a week, or a month. They are the next level up from a free meal. You normally do a "structured refeed" after you come off of a diet to restore muscle glycogen. When we diet we cause "tissue breakdown", the refeed also helps with this. The refeed is basically a long diet break.

Based on the Law of Attraction, the overall premise of The Secret is simple: You can get what you truly feel about. It’s not just thinking about something; you need to envision the results exactly as you would like them to be—and then watch them happen. In this full-color companion to The Secret DVD, Rhonda Byrne discusses its role in the work of some of our most successful teachers including Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. All of them share stories of success ranging from eradicating disease and overcoming obstacles to acquiring wealth and achieving what most would consider the impossible.
