Re: losing weight?
- first while... riding ,eat everything you need to... don't limit what you eat during a workout...
-i find i losing weight by being very concious and eating 'til i'm full and stopping at that point and not just eating what's on my plate... if you're full just put it back in the fridge... reducing the fat and getting to bed early i find that if i say up late lots i gain weight... don't know if it's because you tend to eat more snack or another partial meal if you stay up late where as if you just go to bed you just eat less.. but i think for me the biggest effect is by just being concious of when i'm full and just stopping eating... also sometime your actually thirsty and not hungry and being concious of that too... |

Re: losing weight?
I keep a food log with approximate calories eaten also. It helps keep me on track, honest, and avoid eating too much. Junk food might taste good, but writing it down is painful and can help you avoid it. I also like it because if I am going through a very good or bad training or general energy time, I can look at what I ate and how much and adjust accordingly. Great job on your progress, and keep up the good work.

Re: losing weight?
This is my way;
I don't limit my intake during rides - it normally works out 1 x sports drink & 1 x muesli bar per hour. Races(around 50kms) = every weekend - gel before hand, 1 x during race, 1 x sports drink. Recovery food - fruit and muesli bar & sports drink. Daily; I've not eaten meat for 11 years. My wife is gluten intolerant and I decided not to eat much bread years ago so = basically no bread(often just simple carbs anyway). We're both becoming Vegan - so cutting out all dairy No sweets(used to be a challenge for me but got it sorted now). I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit. Plonkers have said I need more protein but there is plenty in non dead animal sources! My daily calorie intake is between 1400 - 1550 cal / day. My Polar CS200 tells me my rides take 1300 - 2200 calories. In the last 2 months of cutting out dairy and sweets(we're talking lollies) and continuing with the same rides I've gone from 74kgs to 69kgs. I was ok with 74kgs but notice my hillclimbing is improving with less weight so will aim to get down to 66 kgs. Its so nice to weigh this as at my fittest in my early 20s (and only using a 52 chainring for all hills) I weighed 68kgs. It reads like you're doing really well - keep it up. Paul |
