How well I know that feeling. About a month into the Keto diet the taste of sweets actually became nauseating. They were (are) now easy to resist. Yet, the old saying that "I can resist everything except temptation" sometimes still applies.
My secret to bypass backsliding into carboland ...
This is encouraging. I am familiar with coeliac diet from members of a support group I attended when starting out with Keto. Similar diet, gluten sensitivity being your critical issue here as I recall. Mine is cardiac-related & medically recommended, the result being reduction from 253 lbs to...
I am a Keto guy, too. Zero carbs, no sugar, no dairy, a little alcohol (well, kinda ... good wine & beer is sometimes too tempting). I thrive on eggs, bacon, sausage, seafood, fresh veggies & have lost 60 lbs in the last year. I worry about maintaining this regimen on the trail. The biggest...
Also planning April/May 2022 Lisbon/Porto to Santiago then on to Muxia & Finisterre, if possible. Recovering Ca survivor & recovering from chemo knocked me down as well. At my age (83 now), I see the odds of making this work at 50/50 but as Michael Jordan once said, "I miss 100% of the shots I...
This map is very helpful. Is there a similar one for further north? Depending on physical conditioning, late September is a slim possibility but Spring '22 is more likely. Gear is accumulating nicely. These preps are not unlike voyage planning but without the boat.

I have Elle Brierley's book for Porto to Santiago in preparation for a trek in spring 2022. I highly recommend this resource. I plan to end my Camino by addition of Muxia - Finisterre section if time and $$$ permit.
If one must "duck behind a bush" only to find someone has been there first then a basic rule of trekking has been violated. Dig a hole & cover it up afterward; simply common courtesy This requires some sort of digging tool that is located with the emergency TP and zip-locks to pack out soiled...
Great !

When I made sailing deliveries to the Caribbean islands I would sometimes book round trips weeks out from anticipated return-flight dates. Almost without fail I could show up early for the return flight, sign onto "standby" status & be on the way home within 24 hrs.
Yeah, I slept in airports a...
