Greeting All,
I'm starting my Camino Frances on May 22. To prepare for my adventure, last summer I lost 55 pounds (25kg) while on the Keto diet. This is a high fat, moderate protein, and very low carb diet. My caloric intake is roughly 60% fat, 30% protein, and 10% carbs. I aim for ~10g of carbs per meal OR 30g of carbs for the day. YEAH, I know it sounds crazy, but it worked for me & there is lots of science behind it.
I got to my desired weight last fall, but have remained on the Keto diet because I feel much better while on it. I just take in more calories (mostly fat) to maintain my weight.
So, I have a couple questions:

So, I have a couple questions:
- Have any of you done the Camino while on the Keto diet? How did it go for you?
- Are the "pilgrim's meals" heavy carbs???
- What can I expect on pilgrim's meal?
