I'm not sure if it was all fat, or some muscle as well, but I also lost weight (i.e. the bloat around the waist) when I went touring. And I'm really looking forward for another tour in Spring of '07. This time I'll bring protein supplements with me as well so I can lessen the muscle-loss the increase the fat-loss.
