Carb depletion and loading??

[97cobra]

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??

[rambo]

Are you talking about contest prep or a CKD type diet?

[97cobra]

For contest prep.

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.
