So I have a friend who is having surgery next week. Her prep for her surgery of course includes fasting at a certain point. Prior to her fast, the medical team wants her to carb load so she has good glycogen stores to carry her through her surgery. She can only have liquid for the day prior. Any idea where this is going? Of course I suggested UCAN and Wendy made her a sample package and sent her some of the recipes.
Copied from Wendy's email.
Rich uses a starch-based carbohydrate powder, which is great for carbo loading without making your blood sugar spike. I will send you some of the mixes he currently has. He says it makes good smoothies! Here are links to some recipes (Note: you can use any type of milk you like, and either skip the protein powder or use any brand you like):

Interview with Carlos Casali:
As we prepared for this interview, I kept thinking about how Carlos started cycling with as much experience as I had when I was his age. I honestly was never at CAT 3 and to see someone who has a full time + professional career achieve such success in cycling made me very curious. I wanted to know what he did to break through to CAT 3 and eventually to CAT 1 and he's winning races all over the country. What is he doing that I'm not doing? A lot of training is what.
