When someone asks if they should do a huge amount of carb loading before a show I always warn them that a bunch of carbs might help you look 5% better, but if you over-do it they will ruin you 100%. Most people that can handle lots of carbing up are super shredded and are more than anything just genetically that way. If you are a person that tends to put on fat easily, or has to eat clean all the time to stay lean, then you would be much safer with the beef and grapefruit method. Just something to think about.

Booker,

I agree 100%. I am endomorphic and have never responded well to carbs. When I started back in 1982, we all carb loaded. Even though it never worked for me I did it year after year. It was not until I started either not carb loading, or using one of the Beverly plans where the carb day is on Thursday then its beef/grapefruit did I see good results in condition on stage.
