Cheat Day vs Refeed Day?

A cheat day to us means eating everything and anything we want. This type of day may help you mentally, but it’s not going to help you have more energy or better results.

The 80 Day Obsession Refeed day is developed to make your carbs (even the fun ones!) work for you today!

How many Refeed Days are there in 80 Day Obsession?

Don’t get attached to these carb-filled days! You only get 4 of them the entire 80 days, but it’s so worth it!

You first one is in phase 2, and then you get them every 2 weeks in phase 2 and 3. They are before Leg day!

What Days are Refeed Days?

Your specific Refeed Days on the 80 Day Obsession are Days 35, 47, 58, and 70.

  1. I am about to start 80 day obsession. I noticed that the chickpea brownies are 2nd phase/Refeed day. But can I actually eat them in first phase? States they are only one yellow container. I am so confused

    1. You could as long as you have room for them in your daily containers. :) Autumn will always say the foods at the top of the food list are the best to choose, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t have the brownie here and there….it just means a sweet potato would be a great choice whereas the brownie is an okay to good choice. Does that make sense??

      The brownie recipe is featured on our Refeed Day post just to give you a fun new treat if you wanted to indulge without going full on cheat-meal-mode. Does that help? Do you also have a coach that can help you as you get started? If not, we’d love to work with you!
