That is about right. Of course, it depends on how much and what you eat! If you eat too little, your energy will wane.I was listening to a podcast and heard a gentleman say that he lost nearly 20 lbs in the 32 days it took him to do the Frances.
So what about everyone else? Any significant loss, or maybe even just a few pounds/kilos/stone?
Between our group of 6 only one of us lost weight and that was just 10#. I tended to eat about 1,000 calorie breakfast so I did not lose weight. We all did “Re shape” our bodies a wee bit - muscle weighs more than fat. Buen Camino.I tried to do some searching on here, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. If my search-kung-fu was weak, I apologize for a duplicate thread.
But I was wondering what sort of weight loss people who have completed the walk have experienced. I know obviously the point of this isn't to lose weight, but it seems inevitable.

Lost just over a stone, about 18lbs. Trouble is though, I never really lost the belly. The trousers I started in still fitted roughly the same at the endI tried to do some searching on here, but couldn't really find what I was looking for.

I think many overweight people delude themselves that walking the camino will help them lose weight. One year I was walking parallel with an obese woman. Every day she would walk a bit, taxi a bit, walk a bit, and I admired her, as she was obviously struggling. However, there was no way she was losing weight. One morning, as I was eating my 5 euro desayuno (café con leche, 2 slices toast, one pat each of butter and jam), she was tucking into a full English breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, etc. Another day, I came across her in a café eating a big bar of chocolate, and she said she loves being able to eat anything on the camino because she “walks it off”.
Actually . . . No.

Muscels weighs not more as fat, 1 kg of fat is equal to 1 kg of Muscels, but de size of the portion is different, that's why the shape of the body is going to be differntBetween our group of 6 only one of us lost weight and that was just 10#.

I guess that's why I don't lose weight! My regular intake of about 2000 very healthy calories easily doubles to 4000 by adding:When a person takes in 2-3 thousand calories a day and burn 6 thousand for 30-40 days there will be weight loss

I have walked annual pilgrimages since 2006 anywhere between 400 and 850 km each time. I lost 2 kg on my first, the Camino Frances. Since then no weight loss to speak of, and I don't eat like a pig. I like a beer though at the end of the day.I tried to do some searching on here, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. If my search-kung-fu was weak, I apologize for a duplicate thread.

There is more to it...like cortisol production, body stress response, body holding on to fat cells etc fir some of us.It’s a pretty simple calculation for most of us: Calories in/Calories out.

As an obese (BMI 31) woman this makes me angry. You have no idea whether she’s losing weight or not I’m down 13 kg and the lightest I’ve been since my 20s but if you met me you’d call me obese. I eat full English - it’s impossible to get without toast but I don’t eat the toast I eat the low carb high protein part of it. If I ate what you do I’d put on weight because of the carbs making me so hungry I’d be eating again inside the hour.
Don’t judge , it’s attitude like this that make a lot of fat women scared to even start exercise. If you’re lucky enough never to have been obese you really have no clue, she may well have been losing weight (or at least fat as many of us put weight as we get fitter)
I will be starting with a little less weight than I finished last year (~5lbs.).
A couple of observations:
1) I gain about ~15lbs each morning and loose about ~15lbs at the end of each day.
2) I am going to try to stick to a ratio of 2:1, vino tinto:food.
3) I am going to try to skip the carbs especially the papas fritas with every meal.
4) Me encantaría algunas verduras o una ensalada, POR FAVOR!
That's what I do too. I seem to crave spaghetti on the Camino. Fried pork cutlets and French fries not so much!The ensalada mixta does indeed become one of my favourites.
A little tip...the second course on the Pilgrims menu usually involves fried food (fried meat and French fries). I always get two of the first course options...usually the salad and spaghetti.

Wow! Walking that much each day and eating so little, it's a small wonder that you lost only 15 lbs! I walked on average 10 miles a day only and ate three more or less square meals a day whenever I could and still lost 10.I walked the CF from sjpdp to Santiago in 18 days this April. Lost about 15 lbs., in total. No taxi, no buses, I walked ~25-35 miles a day and noticed I was losing about 5 lbs every day and decided it was too much too fast. Decided to eat double dinners for most of it for the calories
I'm 35 yo male, 5'10". Started off around ~200lbs finished around ~185 lbs.
-Breakfast was a pastry and a cafe con eche around 8am.
-Lunch was some kind of pasta and fruit around 1pm.
-Dinner was pasta, beer/wine, and steak around 8pm.
No snacks other than the occasional orange. Mostly water.
Like others said, I lost some of my appetite walking all day. Tbh, I preferred a shower and rest to anything else.
I gained 7 lbs but lost inches. I assume the gain was muscle. I still would have rather lost weight.I tried to do some searching on here, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. If my search-kung-fu was weak, I apologize for a duplicate thread.

Lucky duckI lost eleven pounds (5 kilos) during my 36-day Camino Frances. I had lost over thirty pounds in the year leading up to my Camino.

I only lost one stone. Well, not lost exactly, I know exactly where I left it.I was 1.5 stone overweight so I lost half a stone before I left, mostly through training walks. Then lost another stone on the CdS. Ate plenty (I am vegan so didn't get drawn into a lot of fatty foods anyway!). Never felt so good. Good for my joints too!

Thank God, I’m not the only one..I always gain weight on the camino
Thank God, I’m not the only one..
OK, for those wishing to track any weight loss, can someone tell me where they weighed themselves in St. Jean and where in Santiago? Thank you.

Everything is possible.First Camino I lost 7 pounds, next was 5, then 2, then 2. I leave again in April and this time I fear I will actually gain weight....Is that possible?
