Well, I do a CKD which entails carbs on the weekends, for me simple carb source wise I make my own koolaid with dextrose, and usually eat a lot of jello, pudding, cereal, and gummy snacks.

Low GI carb day entails whole wheat breads, cereals, pasta, whole grain pizza, and some just regular whatever meals.

Someone has been following along.

My thoughts when I designed a similar diet were that you are trying to keep your metabolism revving along with raising leptin levels on this high carb day. Since you aren't carbing up on the day you fully deplete, I thought it was best to skip the higher glycemic carbs (i.e. sugar, etc.) and move into starchy moderate->low glycemic carbs.....

I started with quite high carbs for the morning then tapered off throughout the day.
On my high carb days, I believe I was at 2.5x my bw or close to it. it was pretty high, but I was also about 20% over my maintenance calories for the diet so it worked out.

I broke my meals up into 7-8 meals, depending on when I got up.
%'s below are the % of my total carb intake for the day.

Meal 1
25%
Meal 2
20%
Meal 3
15%
Meal 4
15%
Meal 5
10%
Meal 6
5-10% (dependent on # of meals in day)
Meal 7
5%
Meal 8
0-5% (if there is a meal 8)
