I truly believe that if we are never hungry, then we will never be thin. That's also been my experience. I've never been successful in losing weight without a sensation of hunger from time to time. I've yet to find the miracle "filler" which will still that feeling of hunger, without throwing on calories which turn into fat, usually, as someone else noted, on the stomach! /cue up soundtrack - something by Lawnmower Death perhaps You simply need to accept the Devil's Tongue as part of your diet! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konnyaku /me throws up the horns ;-) -- Dane Buson - A Code of Honour: never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal.

Today, I rode 17 miles (my "easy" ride -- not because of the distance but because of the relative lack of hills) and had eggs, bacon, fruit, raw vegetables, and sandwiches (w/low carb tortillas). And was your total calories consumed during the day the same as or less than your total calories burned during the day? How you get the calories isn't terribly important, provided the overall mix is healthy enough to provide the essentail minerals, vitamins, etc., etc. the human body needs. If you eat more calories than you burn in a day, you gain weight. If you eat less calories than you burn in a day, you lose weight. Its a diabolically simple concept. |

Eating small amounts of the right food during a long ride and the proper
snack at the finish will keep hunger away and allow your body to recuperate quickly. Weight loss maintenance or gain is a numbers game: You take so many calories in and if you burn more you lose weight; if you burn less you gain weight. Knowing how many calories you're taking in and specific calories in foods allows you to conrol the situation. Its not easy but certainly doable. Weigh Watchers works, I know, and is a long term solution. In article .com, says...

I'm on a low carb diet and have been for quite a while. Low carb doesn't mean "no carb" -- you can still eat fruits and vegetables. You just don't eat breads (except rarely, of course), desserts, rice, pasta, etc. Today, I rode 17 miles (my "easy" ride -- not because of the distance but because of the relative lack of hills) and had eggs, bacon, fruit, raw vegetables, and sandwiches (w/low carb tortillas). I guess low-carb diet might work for you if you do short rides like 17 miles. When you start doing longer rides, perhaps day after day, it is very important that your body's carbohydrate stores (glycogen) are replenished. After all, that is your main source of fuel when you ride. In general, I'm not a great fan of trick diets. If you eat no more than you consume, you will not gain weight. With most people it's really about what they eat, but just that they eat too much when they do. If you only eat a reasonable amount when and ONLY when you are hungry, gaining weight is difficult. WHO and other experts still recommend a diet with about 55 to 75 percent of energy intake from carbohydrates (15 to 30 % from fat, 10 to 15 % from protein). Cyclists are not an exception what comes to a good, balanced diet. -as |

Cyclists are not an exception what comes to a good, balanced diet. There is a big difference between eating for performance, and eating for weight loss. Someone who has a good handle on their eating and in general does not ave a problem balancing their intake with their energy expenditure needs to make sure they have enough carbos to ensure good performance if they want to go fast. Someone who is overweight by definition does not have such good handle on this balance. They need to adress this imbalance, and for them ultimate performance is not a concern, losing weight is a concern. It is of course as simple as not eating too much, but for people who have problems with that, they need to find ways to make it more achievable. Joseph |

Does anyone know how much calories they are burning then?
Over eating may be an emotional, or conditioned response. You can read about it or see a professional if the help here does not do it for you. One thing I found astonishing is a muscle the length and size of a pen will lift your leg. You may be thinking you need more calories and or more muscle but neither are going to help. It is mental toughness 90% and the other 10 % is mental toughness Quoted from the Canadian who is biking some 7 days or some crazy deal without sleep. I could not even do 8 hours. keep it movin' bike safe wrote in message ups.com... Antti Salonen wrote: Bob in CT wrote: I'm on a low carb diet and have been for quite a while.
