BIGPHIL · 12-02-2008, 02:02 PM

Im not sure what to do about my carb loading but heres my plan anyhow

The week before i start carb deplete will be my lowest carb week of the whole diet so im extremly depleted by the time i start carb load. wont be going over 60g CHO on non traning days and 150g on training days

Sunday:- Carb deplete 0g- all energy coming from omega 3-6-9 oil and steak/chiken/eggs e.tc salt added to every meal. 5 litres water

Monday:- Carb Deplete 0g - Same as above with carb deplete workout.5 litres water.

Tuesday:- Carb Delplete 0g Same as above with carb deplete workout. 5 litres water.50mg aldactone AM/ 50mg Aldactone PM + natural nettle diuretic AM/PM

Wedensday:- 1000g Carbohydrate from oats, potaotes, vitagro, rice, pasta. Low sodium. 4 litres water.50mg aldactone AM/ 50mg Aldactone PM + natural nettle diuretic AM/PM

Thursday :- 700g Carbohydrate (same foods as above) low sodium.4 litres water.50mg aldactone, 20mg lasix (half tab) AM/50mg Aldactone,20mg lasix (half tab) PM + natural nettle diuretic AM/PM

Friday:- 500g Carbohydrates(depending on condition up them if im not full enoguh and decrease if im to full looking), is this correct??), low sodium. 2 litres water. stop water at 4pm.50mg aldactone AM,20mg lasix (half tab)/ 50mg Aldactone,20mg lasix (half tab) PM + natural nettle diuretic AM/PM

Saturday:-MORNING OF SHOW, eat carbs if needed (not lookin full enough) Drink sips of water thorugh the day. Not sure what to eat between pre judging and night show, possibly 300g carbohydrtae ??50mg aldactone AM,20mg lasix (half tab)/ 50mg Aldactone,20mg lasix (half tab) PM + natural nettle diuretic AM/PM

Sunday:-NEXT SHOW..300g carbs, higher protein and fat, kieep water and soium to a minimum.50mg aldactone AM,20mg lasix (half tab)/ 50mg Aldactone,20mg lasix (half tab) PM + natural nettle diuretic AM/PM

Number of questions:-
1. Should i stop training legs the week before the show? and stop cardio on the sunday??

2.When carbing up how many meals should i have 10-15??can simple carbs be added in as well for the first stages like sweets e.t.c

3.How much protein needs to be consumed when carbing up? (50% number of carb meals in terms of protein meals)

4.What about fats in the carb loading phase from steak,e.t.c was thinking of having a little milk with mashed potato.

5. Once i wake up on show day and im to flat(no veins cuts e.t.c), what are my options?
*drink more water?

6. After my pre judging on the saturday what should i eat in between (low carb/high carb/high fat e.t.c) and drink until the night show (5 hours later) should sodium be low as well between shows?

7. i have a show on the sunday as well, should i just keep the water low, sodium low and carbs high still depending on conditon?

8. sHOULD I RUN THE DIURETICS RIGHT THOUGH INTO THE SUNDAY TO AVOID REBOUND, SHOULD I DROP THE LASIX???

9. anyone done this creatine load 3 days before??

I HOPE YAS CAN HELP CAUSE MY HEADS AWAY!! lol ive already put this in ask the pro section as well but just puttin it up here to see if i can get any extra feedback

2.When carbing up how many meals should i have 10-15??can simple carbs be added in as well for the first stages like sweets e.t.c Whatever your comfortable with, its usually best to stick with the same number of Meals you've been on. Do not use Pasta to carb up on. Don't use simple carbs either as the insulin spike you get will cause water retention.

3.How much protein needs to be consumed when carbing up? (50% number of carb meals in terms of protein meals) 50% of your normal dieting intake. ie:- if you've been taking in 400g a day through your diet reduce to 200g when carbing up.

4.What about fats in the carb loading phase from steak,e.t.c was thinking of having a little milk with mashed potato. No milk, fats would be from essential sources, a little bit of steak the night before the show would be okay.

5. Once i wake up on show day and im to flat(no veins cuts e.t.c), what are my options?
*drink more water? If your using Aldactone you should be keeping your water intake high anyway as its the presence of water that make aldactone a diuretic, otherwise its much more of an anti-androgen. Aldacton & Lasix will also make filling out more difficult. Try to stick with Natural diuretics like Vitamin C if possible.
If your still a little flat on show day, this is the time for more simple carbs. A little bit of chocolate an hour or so before going on stage is usual.

6. After my pre judging on the saturday what should i eat in between (low carb/high carb/high fat e.t.c) and drink until the night show (5 hours later) should sodium be low as well between shows? As all the decisions are made at pre-judging then you can eat pretty much whatever. However, if you are still going to be judged at the evening show then just stick to your normal diet but keep fluids coming in.

7. i have a show on the sunday as well, should i just keep the water low, sodium low and carbs high still depending on conditon? Better to keep water high and carbs & sodium low.

8. sHOULD I RUN THE DIURETICS RIGHT THOUGH INTO THE SUNDAY TO AVOID REBOUND, SHOULD I DROP THE LASIX??? Saturday & Sunday, if you are still intent on using diuretics, should be half of what you used friday ie 25mg Aldacton & 10mg lasix

9. anyone done this creatine load 3 days before?? Most competitors drop creatine from their diet a couple of weeks out. I know one or two who used Kre-volution and said it helped them stay fuller. But if in any doubt don't use it.

I HOPE YAS CAN HELP CAUSE MY HEADS AWAY!! lol ive already put this in ask the pro section as well but just puttin it up here to see if i can get any extra feedback

thanks guys
