Fueling for a long ride or fun w/ diet restrictions

[arielmoon]

Way to go on the low GI and all. It sounds like a lot of restrictions but I've learned there are still so many more foods than you CAN eat than that you can't. I don't have any restrictions exactly, no celiac or food allergies, I just quit sugar on a whim a year ago and it's awesome. I'm trying for lower GI foods in general. A friend of mine though, has tons of allergies plus trying for low GI AND she is vegetarian besides. And yet she still has more foods she CAN than can't eat.

I love this attitude. I am a whole food vegan and there are so many whole foods to choose from!

Thanks all. I ended up using Larabars (2 of them) just to get me over the hump -- ate them at 1:30/4 and 2:30/4 and drank about 4 bottles of water and 4 bottles of nuun (2 bottles of fluid per hour). It worked well and I felt great afterwards. I know the Larabars aren't low glycemic, but they at least combine protein with sugars and from real-food sources.

I love love love Larabars!! I buy them by the case from Amazon's subscribe and save section. 15% off and free shipping! Woo hoo!
