I was just curious as to what kinds of food people like to eat on their 'carb-up'... I'll start the list-

-low fat Pop Tarts

-fat-free/low fat Ben & Jerry’s (I think they have low-fat cookie dough in ‘yogurt ice cream’ form).

-Entemann's FAT-FREE chocolate doughnuts

-Entemann's LOW-FAT danish

-Reese’s Puffs (Cereal)

*licorice - black of course

*sour dough bread - fat free

*skim milk

*Pop's Cereal

I think hell just froze over- I forgot to add:

-CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH!!!.... WOO-HOO!

Didn't you say you Looooooved these! lol

Anything not on Atkins!!!!

low fat ice cream
low fat pancakes
pasta
lollies
protein bars

Anything with potato! I love them. Boiled, baked, mashed, baked chips...
cous cous
SUSHI
pancakes w/ lots of real maple syrup
mr noodles

hm... everything else I really like is full of fat and carbs so it doesn't count.

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

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

Mmmmmmmm, you just got me hungry. I am not carbing up till I wake up for depletion workout in la manana, y despues de esto voy a comer mucho carbohydratos! I mean...um....after depletion go big on carbs.......enlish...english....english damn it
