They say they suffered white-out but survived on a high-calorie diet of deep-fried bacon, cheese and butter.

This diet made perfect sense for them. During low-intensity activity, such as walking - even if it’s walking through snow, – the body uses mostly fat for energy. A diet high in fat, with moderate protein and virtually no carbs, is ideal for long bouts of such activity. And a fatty meal keeps you satiated for a long time because there are no spikes and falls in blood sugar and insulin levels. This is helpful when you are trying to beat a record and need to minimize the time you spend eating without feeling hungry all the time. Oh, and it’s a perfectly healthy diet – just ask the Eskimos.
