Dude....carb-cycling! Seriously, this is the way to go. This one variant of the carb-cycling I used to cut down for various reason (mentioned earlier in the post).

What I do: 6.5 days of VLC (Very Low Carb) of just protein+fat+green veggies (my typical meal is eggs, bacon and broccoli), less than 30g. On the 7th day, I go carb nuts at night, 2-3 hrs before bed. I don't limit carbs in this to low-GI, either, I eat what I want. I just make sure to get quality protein and keep it low fat as well.

As an added bonus, on the 7th day, just before I go carb nuts, I hit the gym and really, really blast whatever body part I want to see grow. The carbs I consume later are going to spike my insulin so if I make sure my body is primed to actually use the insulin spike, I can actually grow a bit of muscle. BONUS!
