The trick to losing weight is eating less and moving more, it's genuinely that simple, it just takes time and a little perseverance.

Improved that for you. I think?emanresu said:The trick to losing weight is eating less junk and moving more, it's genuinely that simple, it just takes time and a little perseverance.
Nothing wrong with eating, it just has to be healthy food which is unpalatable for some.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

If you eat 4000 calories a day of healthy food and sit on the sofa you'll still get fat.2

Nobody contemplating losing weight would be taking on 4000 calories unless they are just playing at it.
Simple point is that most overweight people eat an unproportionate amount of junk. Simply cutting that out gives results.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Conversely, far too many people think that because they've ridden a long way or done an hour or so in the gym they can eat pretty much what they want. Most people considerably over estimate how many calories they have burnt through exercise.
Funnily enough though when I started out on my weight loss journey at 330lbs my BMR wasn't to far off 4000 calories a day, plus extra calories for the exercise I was doing. I cut down to a mere 3000 calories a day for the first month and shifted nearly 30lbs!1 -
I did ketogenic. Works for me. In one 1 month down 15lbs. Food is good as I like fish. 90% dark chocolate in moderation as low in carbs and high in good fats. BMI (load of crap) in normal range, body fat, muscle mass, bone mass, lean body mass, body fat mass, bone fat mass % and muscle mass % all normal range. BMR down to 2382 kcal. Needs to kick down further to 1850 to be within normal. The downside is I doubt I would be able to do any long endurance rides without taking carbs on.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

Cycling will make you more fit but it doesn't do much for weight loss. You might burn 400 calories in an hour and less you are working hard. You burn 100 calories an hour just sitting there. The 300 calorie difference is one donut.0

Depends how hard you work... you probably don't work very hard. According to power meter data which are reasonably reliable, if you work on the assumption that we are all more or less 25% metabolically efficient, then I have done 1 hour at 900 Kcal and I have done 25 minutes at > 1000 KCal/hour in races. I've even gone through one Twix bar in 7 minutes in a Hill climb race.swjohnsey said:Cycling will make you more fit but it doesn't do much for weight loss.

Most of the more paced training rides are around 600 KCal/hourleft the forum March 20230 -
I train on a mountain bike using a heart monitor. I also run and swim so I can compare. I have to average more than 15 mph to keep my heart rate above 130 bpm. Most folks I see cycling for exercise aren't burning more calories than walking.0

My heart rate generally sits at 160-170 when riding, which probably says more about my fitness than anything else. i may not move fast but i'm definitely burning calories. I just have a weakness for snack foods that is my primary issue, taking too much in!swjohnsey said:I train on a mountain bike using a heart monitor. I also run and swim so I can compare.
