Since 2013 April, I lost around 40 lbs, worked out every day (ran/hiked/swam/did weights), and now have reached a stage where I don't have to take any medication for diabetes (only controlling through diet and exercise). In February I applied for a day hike permit for 6 in late July. One by one all members of my group backed out but I decided to make this trip no matter what. I did practice for endurance (hiking upto 26 miles in Tennessee mountains/hills) but altitude was an unknown factor.
Congrats on your hike and improving your health.
I'm curious, if you don't mind, could you share what you've done diet-wise?
