Personally I carbed up from about 5:30pm Friday (after depletion) until bedtime Saturday night. Worked great for me.

What type of carbs do you guys eat when carbing up?? Oatmeal? Brown Rice? Bananas? Sweet Potatoes?

I go with high GI foods for the first 8 hours or so as the body is really primed for absorbing glucose in the initial stages of the carb-up period. I'll eat jelly beans and rockets (dextrose candies) - and plain white bagels with syrup *drools*

Then I begin to switch over to lower GI choices - like oatmeal and whole wheat bagels. The only thing I try to avoid is fat - and I also stay away from too much fructose (as it preferentially fills liver glycogen and makes getting back into ketosis that much harder).
