As a runner I heard something a looong time ago that has always stuck with me: You can't out run a bad diet. Believe me I love sweets. But it is a conscious decision every day. It doesn't have to be super strict and boring. But at least when you do eat well, make sure it's the most macro and micro nutrient dense food you can get. Then. When you want junk. Eat junk and move on to the next healthy meal.

This reminded me of my younger days in the Marine Corps. I got to eat all that sugar. Couldn't gain an ounce because we ran or hiked so much. Then I got out and stopped all that calorie burning activity, but I didn't stop the sugar intake. It's amazing how you can go from being a bean pole to being overweight so gradually. Now, Snickers are treats I have in my dreams.

Big Island Va. come off the trail just before the James River foot bridge. You can walk down the forest service road to US 501 about 2 miles north is a store. They have a restaurant/convenience store Don't eat anything that needs to be refrigerated from that restaurant or your hike will be bad for a few days

Dear Dixie, while you were through hiking did you run into any through hikers that had chronic conditions like diabetes? I was wondering how they handled medication and planned for emergencies. BTW - Love everything you are doing about educating people to the challenges and rewards of through hiking.

I don't know if anyone already mentioned it, but. You have your 2 pounds per day because you have your three hiking days' worth (6 pounds, plus 2 pounds for you extra, just in case, day. That gives you your 2 pounds/day but for four days. Maybe?

you are full when you leave and you can be fasting that last day before town, so that saves you 4 lbs for each segment between towns. That might not matter for 3 day spans, but it can mean quite a lot for 7-8 day jaunts.
