[pct-l] weight loss

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

Last summer I went from 215 to 193, a loss of 22 lbs, or around 10 % of my
start weight.  I was an eating machine and rarely got a hiker hunger
while out on the trail.  I generally left each break with a pocket full of 
food. Something like a snickers bar, a bag of hot peanuts, and a maybe 
milky way bar.  After two hours or so, I'd take another break and maybe 
scarf down some cheese or tortillas with nutella. Then, leave with another 
pocketful of food.  Sometime after noon, I'd stop for an hour and cook a 
big lunch.  Double ramen, double liptons, mac and cheese, 1/2 lb of pasta 
with packet sauce were typical items on my menu.  Everything got 1/4-1/2 
cup of olive oil, including the ram (sop up the oily juice with a
tortilla).  I was carrying a lot of food (3-3.5 lbs per day), but needed 
it as I tended to hike all day long (6 am to 8 or 9 pm). Just like 
water in SoCal, you've got to carry and eat a lot of food on a long hike.
