    When one carb depletes for a couple of days then loads, what do they use for a pwo spike and to lower cortisol levels?? Since you are not suppose to eat any carbs what do you do??

    One usually does not workout strenuous enough that last day or 2 when carbs are little to non-existent. Doing so much work that would require glycogen replinishment so close to a show isn't good anyhow in coming in full, hard, recovered, repaired, etc.
