The key is eat 6 meals, one every 3 hours. 3 meals and 3 snacks, spread your calorie quota through those 6 and you'll be fine. If you really want to get on it work out your calorie quota for the week and cycle your intake ie different amount if calories each day as long as you hit your total at the end of the week. Confuses your body and keeps the metabolism high.
Seems to be a well written article

I just searched for "athlete weight loss diet" on Google.
It confirms Eavesy187s comment!
So break the fast. Don’t skip breakfast — or any other meals, for that matter. In fact, try to spread your caloric intake evenly throughout the day by eating smaller meals more frequently.
it's really hard to gauge refuelling after a 4/5-hour's riding though - specially if you've been pushing it.
You can eat a meal afterwards and it will just burn off, whoosh, leaving you starving again. Which is OK if you're just lolling about at home but if you need to be out and about ...
My problem is probably eating a little too much after long rides, specially in the winter.
Not that I'm overweight - I just want to be skinnier.
Nah, all too scientific for me. I've been running every day since last August (averaging 40 odd miles each week) and have probably lost a stone on my 'eat as much cake as you can diet' :)Quote:

I think most folks who are heavier than they'd like to be (i.e. a good proportion of normal people) have at least one 'vice', be it chips, chocolate, pizza, beer, Jaffa Cakes :o etc. Cutting down on these vices will help massively. The other thing is to question as Zoot says above, how much re-fueling you need to do (and 'carbo-loading'). In the past I'd always had a larger than average meal the night before a long run and probably had more than I needed afterwards. Last year I ate relatively normally, even after long training days on Saturday and Sunday
I've been steadily losing weight for a couple of years now, I eat fairly healthily and run a lot. Still being in my twenties helps, as does running in the mornings. I've still got a bit more to lose and I'm finding harder sessions are helping me shift it.
I've tried to diet as well as training hard and it just doesn't work for me. I just have to train harder and eat sensibly. I don't weigh myself either and I won't until I know there's very little fat left on me.
Dan, you are half the man you once were!Quote:

Zone eating plan is also well worth a look if you can be arsed to really look at what you eat. Basically your days nutritional intake is 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats across all your meals. Obviously there is a bit more to it than that. Paleo is another popular choice.
If people want to work out there calorie intake, look at various eating plans, and how to fit there calorie intake into them check out http://www.freedieting.com/
Cheers Pat we've both come a long way in the last year!Quote:

It's the heaviest I've been for a couple of years. I did get down from 117 to about 85, but somehow the weight mysteriously crept back on...
Your not too late, but you should be reprimanded for not adding yourself to the list :D. Anyway I'll sort it now.Quote:

Well, I have no idea how much I weigh, but after seeing a photo or two of myself lately, I have decided it's time to shed a few pounds seriously! So, I'm joining my better half at Slimming World, which should give me a bit of motivation and direction. Who knows, maybe I'll even get round to my aim of doing a few classic fell races without being frightened of the climbing!
Watch this space...
Does anybody know if it is possible to do a html table in this editor, it would be nice to have columns for start weight, current weight, reduction, etc!
Name Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
Yes, if you post and then click on 'Go Advanced'Quote:

Can I join in? I'll be getting weighed on wednesday.
Aye, I'll have a weigh too :closed:
Well done eavesy and DrPat for getting the old table of shame into shape. The units might be different but nothing really changes :o
You do your own diddy table eavesy. DrPB's table is brilliant as it isQuote:

Nice table Dr Pat!
My current weight is the same as my target weight (I wish!!) - it should read 88kg.
Ta.

Thanks for the grid dominion, I don't know how you done it, but I copied yours. Why they use square brackets instead of angle brackets, I don't know, made it bloody awkward!
Well done Doc, brill table, just got get rid of the weight now, simple's:sneaky:
Have a look at it again I switched two columns around - just make it easier to update it as those milligrammes start to drop offQuote:

Cheers doc. I'm looking on this as a motivational tool - no sniggering at the back, please!
Weigh-in in the morning. No second helpings for me tonight.
This morning I weighed 55.45kg and I want to weigh 54kg. It is proving very difficult. I don't care how slowly I lose it, but I want the loss to be permanent.
Dr can you please amend my target to 75-80kg. Ta
I have just realised that when I am added to the table I will be at the very top. This is more prominence than I bargained for.
84.4kgs.
75.45kg :)
67.5kg
