I would just eat your P3/P4 food today and maybe tomorrow and then go VLC. No reason to pig out or pile on the carbs just eat what you eat already. i agree. we've taken this loading idea totally out of context. and if you eat fatty foods without the carbs, you shouldn't gain much on your load. as poo said, it's basically P3 eating. many also do not load much after the first round. i think it's a bit of a contradiction that Dr. S. says to. if it's to stock your normal fat stores, and you do that before R1, and don't lose normal fat, and don't restrict calories before your next round- why aren't your normal fat stores still "full"? i think after R1 that it's basically to get you through the first few days until you're burning fat well. but you can always eat a bit more P2 food, too.

I think I should have eaten more, but I can't stomach another bite. Dr. S. says to "eat to capacity". if you couldn't eat another bite, you did that. no need to eat more.
