My 'carb-up' foods are the 'funnest' so far. :D

What foods should one not eat on the carb up?

Thanks

im no expert, but i think you should go for lots of high gi carbs, low fat and moderate protein. For the second 24 hours if you go that long, switch to low gi carbs...

-Avoid foods high in fat. Any food low in fat and high in carbohydrates is what you want to look for. Anyways, as for the G/I of the foods-it's not that important unless you plan on 'carbing-up' for more than 24 hours. If you do, after 12 hours of 'carbing-up' you'll want to gradually switch over to lower G/I carbohydrates.

What's sounding good to me this weekend:

Blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup
Sushi (mmmmm, wasabi!!)
Caramel corn
Cheetos Puffs
Oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins
Chips and Salsa (I can get good lowfat ones)
Grands Cinnamon buns (Will have to check the fat)
I'll have to check out the Entemanns. I haven't had that since my Susan Powter days. (There, the secret's out. Do with me what you will. :) )

Cheers,

Friday

Here's what I actually bought:

Mac n Cheese mix (I can cut the butter in half)
Orange gumdrop slices
Kettlecorn
Low Fat pop tarts (Zeus's fault)
Whole wheat bread for french toast
low fat muffin mix
fat free ice cream
