I am newcomer to the cycling and I have had some problems to maintain the weight . I have 18 months of practice even when I have lost some weight and I have replaced some fat by lean muscle, I am a big overweight with 95 kgms (aprox. 210 lbs) and my height is 1.73 mts. I think my food is OK because is mainly based on green vegetables, tuna fish, chicken, sea food, and integral carbs. I spend at least 10 hours/week training with an average of 8,000 kcals consumed, measured by my HRM, but I can not reduce my weight, instead of, I have a tendency to increase it when I reduce the training intensity, can I have some low metabolism problem? it is possible a thyroid problem??
What do you think about the low glycemic index foods ?? could be better to replace the high carbs foods for low glycemic index foods to avoid the Up/down of the insulin?? (I am not a diabetic)
