Why do some guys eat yams and others eat junk food to fill out?

depends on whether you choose to shit load or not.  Different schools of thought will effect how you carb up.

I was eating yams etc on the day of my show and carbed up on them, my mate carbed up like me but on the day ate a huge ice cream sudae and a doughnut etc.  he suddenly got very vasular and alot sharper but spilled over just after the show.
I had zero vascularity during the whole show, after i ate a plate of chilli and tortillias, a scampi and chips and 4 j2o's (high sugar fruit juice drink).  Withink 2 hours i was so vascular it was insaine and i looked Way better then i had onstage.  But i also bloated up and looked like i was pregnant due to the gas.

It was the sodium not the carbs that brought your veins out. Carbing up in the traditional sense is over rated.

so how would you do it then?

Well, the short answer would be to just increase your carbs slightly over a couple of days time. Nothing drastic. Better to come in on the flat side than spilled over. Of course when I say "flat side" I certainly don't mean flat. Conditioning always wins.

No, actually I have brought guys in with no carb up most of the time. Slightly increasinbg your carbs that you are already eating is not the same as the traditional junk out or pie filling, insulin loading BS.
