it seems that a successful carb load will depend on your insulin sensitivity.
I personally find that I am insulin-resistant....After large carb intake I tend to get tired and sleepy as opposed to energized. So, I do not 'go to town' on my carb loads. "The Ultimate Diet 2.0" book by Lyle McDonald goes onto all the numbers and stuff. I don't get paid for promoting it, y the way, but it's a great investment.


This thread turned into something completely different. Someone's gotta start a dedicated thread to carb cycling.
