More specific. This is a bicycle forum. You can't out-ride a bad diet. But in fairness, I've done all day gravel grinds that have technically out-ridden my diet of bakeries and beer.how about you can’t outrun a bad diet ?

Lose weight they said, It will be easy they said. Apparently not lol.There will be a larger proportion of muscle loss along with fat and water by not refueling post exercise. Sure you will lose weight, but losing weight is also not equal. You want to lose fat while building muscle (or at least maintaining muscle). Not eating post exercise reduce syour bodys ability to repair and build muscle.
Losing weight is simple - doing it is hard - the worst part is having to read uneducated drivel from every weight loss expert in a forum - who is also usually the most naturally lean person in the history of the universeLose weight they said, It will be easy they said. Apparently not lol.
losing weight is easy. Losing it the right way while not gimping yourself is a different story.Lose weight they said, It will be easy they said. Apparently not lol.
better said than what i said. this is effectively what i mean.Losing weight is simple - doing it is hard
I would have assumed exercising in a gimp suit would be an excellent way to get a sweat on?losing weight is easy. Losing it the right way while not gimping yourself is a different story.
it would be if you could do it for an hourI would have assumed exercising in a gimp suit would be an excellent way to get a sweat on?
Welcome to Rotorburn.Can ride harder/further/faster but still have the 'dad bod' going on.
Yep because building various fitnesses doesn't always mean youll lose weight. If you're putting the calories in and using them in your riding you will inturn build aerobic fitness, your muscles will be stronger etc but chances are you're not expending all the calories eaten or creating a deficit. It's why some body builders bulk then cut. Eat shit for energy and smash the gym, then cut the fat fast via various (usually unhealthy) methods. I can't say its a good way of doing things as you can find a balance.I tend to find I can get fitter without losing weight if I don't watch what I'm eating.

Yeah - good advice there. I've used MyFitnessPal before. Pretty easy to use. But logging everything I eat is a bit of a chore. Especially if you cook fresh - because there's so many ingredients to consider. Sometimes I'll do it for a week or two and then try to wing it. (Really should get back on it - hills get so much easier with a bit of fitness AND lower weight)Nutrition counts and having an idea when you're going to call on the energy and what form it will be in when you need it helps manipulate where your gains and losses will occur.
It's a good app. If you make the same meals regularly, just measure once and add it to the app. If you're off here or there in future renditions of the dish, it won't be a material difference.Yeah - good advice there.

I bought this program, I got 8 weeks into the program then life and work went crazy. I found it actually worked, hills became much easier and they didn't hurt as much. Started seeing results on segments after about 3 weeks. It only cost $70 when I bought it and it came with a gym program and a home program. I did the home program, only had to buy some resistance bands. Just felt that being aimed at mtb riders, was a good buy.On this topic, I have been following this guy on Insta and he seems to make a decent bit of sense.

If you can put down the watts, it's not a dad bod. It's a sleeper.My dad bod rivals the best regardless of the km’s I’m smashing out.

I rekon strength and endurance wise, I'm stronger than I have ever been. At the same time I am heavier than I have ever been. My family have been known to be relatively good solid but lean build and then when they hit 45-ish BOOOM you're a fat bastard now.I tend to find I can get fitter without losing weight if I don't watch what I'm eating.

That is a point, or as I did yesterday and used a light ride as a warm up for legs day at the gym.Fit it in as your active recovery from gym.
