Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. High GI is the way to go unless you're doing a 24 hr thing, I think. The leaner you get, the more frequently you'll need to carb up. A lot of people do about a 6 hour thing while other people do it all in one meal. I don't like the 24 hour carb up personally...just on principle. The shorter your carb up, the more frequently you'll most likely need to carb up. Remember, try to carb up with as much glucose as you can. Glucose replenishes primarily muscle glycogen. Fructose replenishes primarily liver glycogen. Sucrose is a disaccharide comprised of glucose AND fructose, so it's not as good as plain old glucose during your refeed. I'm looking for an actual list of foods that are high in glucose and/or break down to glucose very quickly. While you can eat whatever you want, you might as well be more efficient with the carb up. Especially if it's a shorter one. If you just ate a shit ton of fructose & nothing else during a carb up, you'd likely be pissing into the wind. Starch is broken down directly to glucose, I believe. So starchy foods will be a good choice.
