nellie Posted December 19, 2006 Share One of my friends said the easiest way to lose weight is to not eat breakfast' date=' go out for a really easy 1-2 hour morning ride with only water and then afterwards eat a banana. I'm trying it and think it's working![/quote'] no breakfast are you crazy? I wouldnt be able to justify getting out of bed. Some say i am... But hey, it works for him, and so far it works for me, just don't ride hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 19, 2006 Share I heard eating within the first hour was the best thing to do in order not to pick up weight, cause your body uses the food to replace what it has used????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder Woman Posted December 19, 2006 Share It's not that simple as calories in vs calories out thing. I proved that last year!! It's what you eat, when you eat it linked with exercise etc etc. Not so simple otherwise I would have the perfect figure and unfortunately I'm far from it And skipping breakfast makes you eat more trash during the day, especially if you train in the morning. Try again.... and keep in mind it needs to be sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedal on the downhills Posted December 19, 2006 Share ok the short answer is, go for as many hours as you have/can bear/will be domestically allowed without removal of conjugal or credit card rights.See my previous postings on fat oxidation, but for highest rate of fat oxidation, ride at steady 70-75, even 80 % mhr. Do that 20-25 h/week nd see what happens..Do consecutive days so that you ride in muscle glycogen depleted state and burn more fat, but still take 50 g carbs per hour form the start of exercise. If you skip brekkers and ride an hour without any carbs you'll burn a few grams more fat, whoopee, rather have brekkers and be a friendlier person. Mix it up so you dont die of boredom, so throw in a hilly ride and a fast tempo ride (80-85 % mhr) per week as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamaties Posted December 19, 2006 Share Hey AuctionL .......riding helps, but its all about what you eat......and ive seen it happen......your diet is: 20% training and 80% what you eat......xx-xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcyclist Posted December 19, 2006 Share and 80% what you eat......xx-xx avoid fruits and nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedal on the downhills Posted December 19, 2006 Share if 60 % is the upper limit of what you can do for long rides, that fine - there's always going to be a tradeoff between intensity and distance - but you're not going to get the greatest fatloss that way, unless you really do ride 25 h + per week. plus you wont get any faster, so 60 % is a bust - unless your fitness, like mine, means that more than that means knit one skip one.
