Yeah, me.
Can't say I stick to it very well, but I've had the same advice and the same experiences. When I don't follow that advice, I feel lousy, gain weight, have no energy. I've also got a major sugar addiction which makes it all worse. These are some of the reasons why the advice against mailing myself re-supply boxes and just shopping along the way ain't so good for me, along with the meds and supplements I need. It's amazing how many food products contain sugar in all its forms and how many contain gluten products.
My wife, Mudpie, is in the same boat. On each practice trip we experiment and she has done a great job with the dehydrator. Basically, you can dehydrate almost anything you eat at home. On our last trip we carried only .8 lbs of food per person per day and still came home with food, so there is the benefit of less weight and still eating well.
One thing we'd really love to find is a gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, additive free, natural, organic bar to use for fast breakfasts.
By the way, if sugar is an issue for you, the best alternative we've found is Xylitol, an all natural sugar alcohol that tastes exactly like sugar, is just as sweet, has no aftertaste, is low on the glycemic index, and has no side effects except a slight laxative effect on some people, who need to start using a small amount and build up to get used to it., It actually has some health benefits (it kills candida, which can be made worse by sugar, gluten and dairy products) and is good for your teeth. But it will kill your dog. We've found at least one company online that makes xylitol sweetened chocolate. We usew it, powdered cocao and almond milk to make hot chocolate at home. Haven't tried dehydrating the almond milk yet. Xylitol ain't cheap. the best deal we've found is here:
