Here are the Carb load rules that have been laid out
CARB LOAD RULES
STAGE 1 iNITIAL 24 HOURS
Feedings-12
carbs-16x lean bodyweight in kg
Type -glucose polymers and startches(malto dextrin is what i use)
Meal 1-4 -Drink 2 grams carbs per kg of lean bodyweight of liquid simple sugard or glucose polymers per meal.WHEY SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIQUID DRINKS.
MEALS 5-8-These should be liquid carbs and solid high glycemic carbs(such as cornflakes) Eat 1.5 g of carbsper kg of lean bodyweight at each meal
Meal 9-12-Finally you get to eat some real food eat.5grams of solid starches and some liquid carbs per kg of lbm at each meal
STAGE2
Feedings-12
Type-Mixed,primarily starches
MEAL1-4-Each meal 1gram carbs per kg of lbm SINCE INSULIN SENSETIVITY IS DECLINING YOU SHOULD EAT MORE SOLID CARBS AND PROTEINS!
MEAL5-8-Eat .75 grams of carbs per lbm of normal food (rice,pasta,potatoes)
MEAL9-12-.5GRAMS OF CARBS. Since you want to begin lowering blood glucose before you begin another week of carb depletion,you should eat just the opposite of what you would expect! Go back tosimple liquid carbs and proteins.Basically you want a sugar crash to get you into low blood sugar. Yes insulin ishigher but the actual amount of carbs per meal is quite low.
I just wanna make sure I am reading this correct. I will start my carb load friday around 1 oclock after I workout. Over the course of the day I will not eat anymore solid food. Just 4 carb drinks(I am using cytomax natural) mixe with whey protein. When I wake up the next morning I am going to drink 4 more drinks for my first 4 meals with an added bowl of cereal, bagel, or other high glycemic carb(can someone give me some examples). The next 4 meals are mainly food source carbs with only alittle liquid carbs. the next 8 meals sollid carbs like pasta,bread,rice. Then sunday morning no more solid carbs just liquid for 4 meals then cut off carbs?? This seems kinda ridiculous you are basically switching over to a iquid diet for half of the carb load. Is that correct?
