RE: The Thirty Day SHTF Test Diet: Day 2
my energy level is still up; no sluggishness
Do you usually eat a lot of sugar enhanced foods?; those can give you some (sometimes unnoticed) rushes combined with long times of drag.
it's my major problem..haven't kicked sugar yet
A cheap alternative would be to store cheap staple food - rice, flour, basic pasta, ramen, beans, or suchlike - and use the Mountain House packs for variety.
good idea; also add peanut butter and honey, which store well and can add some sweet variety. peanut butter and plain rice can be an interesting meal (done it lol)
good to hear it's working so far!; you might also want to order a few additional units and add a third freezed dried meal if you start feeling underpowered; it'd keep you close to your original plan
No, but I do tend to eat a fair bit of carbs. That - me going off the carbs - could explain it.
That's one thing I discovered: if you get bored with staples, you can come up with something new (and good!) just by mixing up what you've got.
For example, I've added flavor powder [powdered flavor cubes, eg. chicken) to the rice I put in the rice cooker. Works well and tastes good. Also, I discovered you can make good macaroni in a rice cooker: just use 1 cup macaroni to 1 cup water instead of the 1:2 ratio for rice:water.
I might...
Thanks for the resteem!
