Just a follow-up. Backpacking trip is behind me, 25 miles in 2 days. I did go carby, beginning with a Chick fil a biscuit as we drove to the hike, and ending with a Five Guys Cheeseburger and fries after the hike...and the sum total is that I lost a little over 1 pound. Probably would be down 2-3 lbs if I stayed low carb, but the cheeseburger was good, as were the reeces peanut butter cups.

Back to low carbing it...no regrets and no hesitations to get back on track quickly.

Until next time:-)
