It was the cumulative effect of the trip, but, yeah, that four days really did it. I went in at 192 pounds and came out at 167 (and that weigh-in was after breakfast). Put on 12 more pounds the first day back. Ate nonstop.
25 lbs, that is substantial. And then 12 lbs back in a day...that’s almost the more impressive number. That’s a lot of dang food.
