[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2241704, member: 93179"] If you can get a suitable LCHF vegetarian diet sorted, then the fats in that diet will replace the current carbs as your main source of fuel - and may very well serve you better on your long hikes. Carbs are short term quick fix energy that need topping up regularly, and when you get used to eating fatty foods (i.e. become "fat adapted") instead, they are a long term available and sustainable source of fuel for you. And if you're carrying a bit of surplus weight/fat, you should be able to use some of that up. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
