Precontest carb up Q...

[the Heart Break Kid]

First off... im new here but some of u may recognize me on the other boards..whats up...



ok NOW for those of u whove competed, know that most people tend to eat rice cakes with jelly as mainly their carb up food..BUT jelly is mainly fructose right? well fructose is the only sugar that doesnt get stored in muscle..it only gets stored in the liver and once the livers stores are filled, it starts to convert the carbs to fat (reguardless of if the muscles are filled or not [Dr. Pasquale]) so hasnt anyone caught onto this? why not carb up with something else? any other ideas? am i right on this or what? (im talking about carbing up the day OF the show)

I have seen you on Nuclear Nutrition board and Anabolic Extreme I believe.

I agree with you that fructose shouldn't be used. I know the pie filling has a bunch of sucrose in it but definitely quite a bit of fructose.

I prefer potatos, brown rice and oatmeal.

For the first couple hours of the carbup I prefer a dextrose drink.
