As for carb-loading, the one product that has given me results was switching from water during training (kickboxing, mma, bjj) to powdered gatorade.

The difference was drastic for me. While I have not been monitoring my caloric in-take of the stuff, I just drink enough until I feel hydrated whenever possible during classes. When we're putting on or taking off gear, I'll swig some sips and it has made a difference. A few guys have noticed and are lugging around jugs of the same and I think they're feeling it too.

The downside is that I may be burning the garotade instead of bodyfat and I'll look further into that when I'm thinking about cutting, but as I am not currently concerned, I can go for days.
