Fructose blows unless you are carb loading before a show.
I like Maks diet. Very solid.
I have had great success with high carb approaches and low carb approaches but I feel the low carb approach takes less effort(though I beleive with the higher carb diet I was a bit fuller). and can ultimately be more rewarding.
I have been utilizing some of Palumbo's methods recently. Lotsa veggies, broad spectrum of fats(olive oil, CLA, Primrose, All variations of Nuts, Flax oil, Fish oil, etc) in addition to lots of Salmon, bison, chicken and casien/whey protien mixes. I still have carbs but they are entirely from Ezekial Breads and cereals. Working pretty well. I have been off anabolic androgenic steroids for about 18 months now and I am a solid 260 @ 10% BF. Cant wait to get back on the Boat..
