V12man Posted September 11, 2014 Share By the way, my buddy who is a cardiologist, says any high fat diet is just bad news!Cardiologists also used to say eating margarine was good for you..... they don't say that anymore... hell, some of them even smoke... Realistically though - Low refined carb diets have a place in weight management, and you have to find what works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatfox Posted September 11, 2014 Share I Started training in December and I have lost almost 30kg..I also struggle to lose weight, and I found the following worked for me. Breakfast: Small bowl of jungle oats, teaspoon butter...not margarine, real butter, little bit of honey. Lunch: Salad, fish or chicken breast or even a minute steak..Another option is provita with low fat cheese, a few olives. Supper: Meat and veggies works for me.. I found that even rye bread is no good for me, cut out rice and most starch..Drink a lot of water, no cold drinks. When I train I also only drink water. I try to ride at least 4 times per week, more than a hour on each ride. I also regularly eat fruit, occasional low fat yoghurt and skim milk...

Dazshell Posted September 11, 2014 Share Yes the cario will say that, but based on what ??20 years of experience and studying. I"m happy to take his advice. To be fair though, he says that smoking is far worse than anything you do or don't eat. floatfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted September 11, 2014 Share I find things like green tea help to suppress the appetite. My problem is more volume than what I am eating, I like my food!I put on weight at all the stage races I did, even berg and bush when it was over 40 degrees. The moment I do a hard cycle, all I want is food and lots of it.I've found doing squad training is really helping. 40 min of high impact swimming and i'm finally shedding the kilo's.

Lots of it. I try fill my stomach so that I don't feel hungry. I also drink a glass of water before eating and another while eating. Dieticians used to frown on this, now suddenly they are advocating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have a healthy snack, because that also increases your metabolism.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatfox Posted September 11, 2014 Share I recently started to drink a glass of water as soon as I wake up, and a glass of water right before I go to bed. Jace and Dazshell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyK Posted September 11, 2014 Share I am training for the k2c and wines2whales. On saturdays we average 80 km rides. Tuesdays and thursdays it is intervals or 30 km high pace. I just started training for the fish river canoe marathon, and that happen on mondays and wednesdays.  I am 1.77 and weighed 77kg. I bought a usn muscle fuel as an extra meal because I lost 1 kg in about a week.  I believe recreational cyclists should do some upper body workouts as well. Especially core workouts. Long distance cycling does not burn my belly fat. Standing intervals and rowing does. My 2cents Jace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyK Posted September 11, 2014 Share One more thing, I believe in apples. At around 11 the hunger pangs hit me,I have a bag of apples in my office and will eat one and around 15:00 I eat another one. They are low gi and I feel more energetic after an apple.
