    Gut loading frenzy

    Haha no, not you specifically. You just summarized the 11 pages of discussion very concisely so I used it to keep things going on track. :) The current recommendation is based on making sure that feeders have enough time to properly consume food items offered.

    To challenge this further my question remains: is there a functional difference between the two? Has one been proven to be more efficacious than the other?

    Gut loading frenzy

    I have tried to address your points but the goalposts keep moving. I stand corrected on other sites using gutloading in its literal meaning. Our resources say 12-24 hours after feeding feeders. But I also maintain that there is absolutely no evidence that literal gutloading is not effective and...
