Butterbean Posted July 4, 2013 Share I find the best way to avoid eating this stuff is by making myself a deal for each item... So if I want a chocolate bar, I can only have one if I ride 25kms...If I'm too lazy to ride, then I don't deserve the chocolate. II dint think there's anything wrong with these things. Remember your body will often crave things because of a deficiency it has. But of course, if you're like me, I can't stop at a block of chocolate... It has to be the whole slab... And that's why I can't climb hills fast;) But seriously. Treat them as rewards for hard work and it makes me feel less guilty!

Joe Low Posted July 4, 2013 Share I buy the big tub of nuts from woollies. I just like a little snack while watching tv. Keeps me busy.Love nuts too, but 50% fat makes them the not-so-little snack. Managed to wean myself onto Lindt 85% & get through a couple of squares of that a day, its good with greek yogurt and banana; & I have a tame cardiologist who'll write a certificate that its good for me, esp if accompanied by red wine. So, no choice really. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/127956-sweet-craving/page/3/#findComment-1978152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser Posted July 4, 2013 Share Start a penalty box, when having a choc deposit R10. Or put the money you would have spent on buying the sweet in the box. Before you know it you have a little extra for the bike. Have a cheat day once a week where you binge, no penalty imposed.

T-Bob Posted July 4, 2013 Share Cola bottles... Trulli ones work a treat. Truthfully, I eat what I eat and I race how I race. Yup, if I drop 10 kgs I could be faster, better, leaner but I could also be a sour, obnoxious, obsessed tool as well. I ride, I race, I cook, I eat good food, ride good times, I drink good wine and I love good produce (choccy croissants included). Life is too short to eat food that you don't love... or to worry about it. If I was a pro racer then I'd worry about it. I was, and I'm not now.
