That's a good one, Mosaic, about eating every 5 hours. When I first got involved in Radiant Recovery, I lived on the east coast, so when I would fly to Albuquerque for ranch, there was a 2 hour time difference, plus I would get up extra-early in Massachusetts for a morning flight, so my day was really long. So I'd eat when I got up (around 4:30 AM), then again at about 9:30 or 10 Eastern time. I'd get to the hotel mid afternoon and get a meal at about 3, and then eat dinner at regular Albuquerque dinner time, which would set my body up to be hungry at the appropriate time for breakfast the next day, and I'd go to bed at an appropriate time for mountain time too. The day was extra long, so I needed that 4th meal.

Now I live near Albuquerque, so no time adjustment or travel is necessary for that event.

I also highly recommend oat cakes for travel, if you can find them. You can order them on Amazon if you can't find them locally. I also tend to bring nut butter when I travel. That way, if I get up too long before we can get breakfast, I have oat cakes with nut butter, or a shake with just Restore and almond milk, to tide me over until I can have a real breakfast.

: hi Carol
: I hope all went well !
: Love Allisons recommendations

: I think the best thing is to applaud
: your experience and realise that
: everything is useful to us. I
: found travelling a challenge for
: years but each experience built on
: top

: I think my best thing in the
: beginning - because going through
: time zones - was to forget
: convention and eat by the clock,
: so 5 hours between, regardless

: I carry macadamia nuts, almonds, some
: parmesan to add as a top up ( it
: seems to keep happily) a foil
: pouch of salmon and a tin of
: sardines. I don't care about
: offending anyone with stinky
: sardines babybel cheese being
: wrapped is handy. Often have had a
: cooked jacket potato as well as
: more transportable than you think.
: Crackers and oatcakes also
: pretty portable. Most of the time
: I don't need them, but they are
: *there* I currently have a very
: well travelled tin of sardines -
: they are long shelf life so I
: don't even unpack them, one lives
: in the suitcase. I have an out of
: date baby food sweet potato jar
: from USA which I cant bear to
: throw out its a souvenir. You cant
: get that here.

: And in handbag, two sturdy plastic
: spoons, because they can go on
: planes happily. All my family save
: me their plastic spoons for my
: drawer in the kitchen ( that we
: probably all have )

: gradually I learnt the chain
: restaurants that are friendly for
: me if I'm out and about, and often
: if we are going some where new, we
: look them up and google map them
: as a back up..... same with
: supermarkets. google map is the
: most amazing thing
