I've lost over 40kg in the past year and a half, basically on the Banting diet.
It cannot be easy to pack food for a hike on LCHF... Very difficult to take fresh meat, veggies and dairy etc. and stay away from the processed foods and sugar/carbs.
What an excellent looking trip Gerhard. My knees are screaming at the thought of a 32kg pack!! My pack for a three night winter trip normally tips the scales at around 20-22kg and I'd like to make it lighter. Like you though I've learned from experience and have stopped packing stuff that I'm not going to need or consume; things like large bottles of brandy for instance.
Enjoying the pics and your commentary about the hike! Really like the pic of the big rock.

I think most of you are underestimating yourselves........ Most of us can do a lot more and go much further than we know...
Thanks for the pictures!Balmy desert winter weather, eh? Wonder how it feels like in high summer...
