given up on carb backloading already wannabebig?[/quote]
for the time being. my main goal right now is to drop as much fat as possible for summer. once i drop 20lbs and am lean again, i feel my body will be in a better position to use backloading to gain muscle. it was nice to eat shit foods and not gain bodyfat, but i cant see how it would help me strip fat as fast as the AD does.
kiefer even recommends his carb nite to drop fat as fast as possible, which is basically the AD with only one night of carbs per week.

Indeed. So why not do Carb Nite instead? Itd work better. Its basically a more optimised Anabolic Diet anyway.[/quote]
i honestly dont feel like shelling out another $20 for carb nite haha. i have the AD ebook already and know it works.
unless theres a pirated version of carb nite floating around that i dont know about wink wink[/quote]
I havent read it either but from Ive learned its essentially carb backloading but with only 1 backload. This means you still do the morning fast, and eat high fat/protein in a 50:50 split by gram, and then one night a week you do a big backload (after training preferably)

i honestly dont know if just one backload meal will be enough to refill my glycogen stores for the next weeks workout. i do pretty high volume. plus the psychological relief from eating carbs for an entire day (or two) is nice.

Iām with you on everything you stated, at least in my experience.
Plus for some reason I fill out better with less fat gain when I do a gradual 2-2 1/2 day carb up with smaller sensible size carb ups. I actually start filling out better when starting off with smaller carb meals on friday and able to handle it better finishing up with larger ones saturday night and early sunday.
When I ram jet a slew of fast carbs right off the bat I donāt fill out as well and seem to even gain a little fat (or maybe just water retention).
Not to hijack the thread Iāll probably just start a new one but does anyone know why this might occur?
This was one reason CBL didnāt work for me. Didnāt fill up on the one night huge carb up, just got fat.[/quote]
Dr Poteet wrote that the carb-up phase is three distinct phases. The first one would be like a anything you want for about 6 hours and calls it āthe perfect stormĆĀ¢?? of biochemistryā
In the 2 phase he also wrote āThe key in carbohydrate selection in this phase is the elimination of fructose-containing carbohydrates. Why? Well, that has to do with our biological processing of fructose. Essentially, fructose cannot participate in glycogen loading when the liver is full of glycogen. It is 100% metabolized by the liver, and in this scenario the vast majority of fructose will be converted into triglycerideā. Maybe that answers your question?[/quote]
Ok sounds interesting, Iāll read up on his stuff. I think partly or even mostly why CBL or ram jetting simple carbs doesnāt work for me is the sugar content hence the fructose. Against my better judgement (because I already was aware of the fact that sucrose/fructose doesnāt fill glycogen well) I used carbs that coincidentally also contained lots of sugar with the intentions of a big insulin response and I love desserts. Didnāt work. Retained water and gained some fat. I do much better with fast complex carbs like mashed potatoes, rice etc.
