No Fluff. Just the Good Stuff.
When Lisa was thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease preventing her body from producing insulin. Managing blood sugar meant rethinking how she fueled adventure. She needed real food, low in carbs and high in protein, to keep her energy steady on the trail. But she couldn’t find any backcountry meals not packed with cheap carbs and sugar, so she created her own: FLAT OUT FEASTS.
Made for those who never stop exploring and expect excellence in every bite, because adventure shouldn’t be limited by what you eat – it should be powered by it.
Proving that FEASTS can go the distance, Lisa restarted the PCT in 2022 and completed the 4,265 km thru-hike from Mexico to Canada, then finished the 100-mile Lost Soul Ultramarathon in Lethbridge just 2 weeks later. When you’re going flat-out, you need food with no fluff. Just the good stuff.
Trail-tested and proven.
Lisa created Flat Out Feasts knowing that she would be returning to finish her PCT thru-hike, and would need meals that fit her dietary needs. In 2022 she did just that, starting over at the Mexican border and hiking 4,270km all the way to Canada over 4.5 months.
She says, "Flat Out Feasts kept me going through it all. I ate Feasts every single day without getting tired of them, and always felt nourished with real food and long-lasting energy. Other hikers drooled at the sight of them!"

Flat Out Blood Sugar
Carbs break down into mostly sugar when digested, which spikes blood sugar, quickly followed by a drop which makes you hungry again. Low carb meals are high in protein and fats, which digest more consistently and don't spike blood sugar, giving you more consistent energy for longer. You'll feel the difference in your endurance.
As a type 1 diabetic, choosing a low carb lifestyle along with insulin injections helps Lisa keep her blood sugar levels more consistent and "flattened out". The line in our logo comes from Lisa's continuous glucose monitor!
