[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2323836, member: 345386"] Woolgal - My view with LC eating is if I know I have a very heavy day coming up, I need to prepare for that. Eating sugar, sweets, or whatever, will generally give a near immediate sugar rush and (if they're your thing) a high, but that said, the high is usually followed a while later by a signal from the body for more. Call it a craving or whatever else you like, but it's usually there. Over the summer, we did some fairly outrageous landscaping on our gardens, lifting turf and hard landscaping, digging out many tons of soil, digging in thousands of litres of farmyard manure (if well enough matured it doesn't smell - too much!), then planting up, and making a couple of new areas, involving footings, cement, paving stones and edges. All of that was done LC, but it meant I needed to be well fuelled, and not wait for the fatigue to arrive. Actually, my biggest issue was ensuring I drank enough as phases of that work was during the very hot days. (Remember those?) When doing long-haul flights, I usually fast through the flight - especially if I am using a non-European airline. Being both LC and strictly GF, it's a challenge to sometimes find something on the menu. To fast for what often ends up being 30-48 hours, I have a couple of days on carni. I spend 2 or 3 days eating meat and cheese, but still allowing myself milk in drinks. My final eating window will usually be chicken or such like, in the departure airport. That sees me through. I have mentioned this before, but sometimes we need to train our bodies out of these cycles, and for me, that means periods of not having any of the x, y or z at all. I said many times before that I don't think bread is for you. I think it restarts your up and down cycles. I could also be inclined to think you get bored on the longer drives and food is your then comfort. Good luck with it all, but I would invest the weekend preparing for the few days ahead. [/QUOTE]
