Right. Carbing up helps a lot while dieting. It's important to refill your glycogen stores periodically in order to keep training intensity high, not to mention the psychological boost it provides. How often one carbs up depends on several factors. The main one that I look at while preparing people for shows or photo shoots is how well they handle carbs. I've had guys that could only carb up every 2-3 weeks, while others every few days. I would say to carb up once a week where you're at and go from there.
