I am going to attempt a south bound thru starting in june. I am naturally thin so I am concerned I will lose too much weight and will have to quit. I am 6 feet 165ish. Should I put on weight before the hike to make up for what I will lose? I really don't want to do that as I don't like being overweight but I will if that is my best bet to finish the trail.
Additional info is that I am vegetarian so getting protein on the trail could be a problem. I don't really eat too many carbs in my daily life(i only eat beans/veg/tofu) so I am concerned about eating so many carbs on the trail.
thanks in advance
