What exactly is "carb up?"

[Clean]

I read this term alot but I just realized i dont know what the hell it actually means, and what effect it has. If someone could please help on this one as I just started dieting (i am only 19) eating canned tuna and chicken and whey protein with as little carbs as i can manage. I am also taking Fish Oil caps, i read the fatty acids help to take some fat off.

Thanks alot,

Clean

Generally means you go very little or no carbs for 6 days and on 7th day you eat a bunch of carbs to replenish glycogen stores, then you go back to little/no carbs until the 7th day again.
