Carb ups -- Are they worth it?

[rperry]

there is no time to carb up... just up your daily overall carbs like a couple per meal

if i eat zero carbs ezcept for a grapefruit at breakfast i should take in about 100g of carbs for each meal, 5-6 meals????? thats not too much?????

I'm pretty lean right now, so based on Par Deus's advice, I carb load for 12 hours. I start with instant, flavored cream of wheat or oatmeal for my first three meals, then eat regular cream of wheat or oatmeal sweetened with 1 T honey for my last three meals. By the time I finish the last meal, I'm sick of carbs and am ready to go back to eating protein.

It definitely keeps the fat burning though - I'm amazed at how well adding refeeds keeps me from plateau'ing. I just keep them under control, count the calories, etc.
