[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4953524, member: 79761"] So I never realized how much sugar was in Gatorade until the first round of heat exhaustion where a supe' pulled me off-route. After that I switched to Gatorade Zero and started taking electrolyte/mineral supplements. It's just insane to me how, all throughout the year, I can go 12-13hrs with just water and maybe a tiny snack, but that dietary habit just doesn't cut it when Summer rolls around. Also, at 125lbs it's probably pretty clear that I just don't eat much to begin with. Typically I eat when I'm hungry, but I've learned that when you're working in the heat you need to anticipate that feeling and eat before you ever get there. Great advice, though, and confirming most of my own conclusions about this predicament. My personal diet was the biggest cause of my heat exhaustion and you're right, it has to change if I want to continue with this career. Thanks, bud. [/QUOTE]
