I was listening to NPR on the way back to the airport in April. They had on a fellow talking about what the body needs and why people feel hungry after a typical breakfast of cereals (boxed cereal, instant oats, juice).
For starters exercise will not help you loose weight, the body simply can not burn off that many calories. It has a ton of other benefits (cardio, bone strength etc.).
For the diet: carbs are your enemy and are not needed (they do make life worth living most days
). Fats, in broad terms, are good for you. Whole milk is better for you than skim.
Juices are like pop and the sugars hit your system just like pop and then leave you wanting. Raw fruits that force the body to work to get at the energy stored there. Similar logic works with steel cut oats vs instant oats.
So if you want to loose weight, eat right, eat less.
Naturally we all have different bodies and from what I can tell from other articles the flora and fauna in your gut has a LOT to do with how well your body handles whatever you eat which makes hard and fast rules on diet hard to do. Then good stuff like fish has heavy metals in it making fish (and bottom feeders) downright unhealthy. Gah!
We don't get out alive, but you can get preachy and irritate your fellow riders to pass the time. Works for me.
But hey, do do things to help your hobbies like riding. It's not easy to be good but it's worth it.
