Default Losing weight

Just wondering if any of you have a scheudle that you follow to lose weight. I am about 6'1 and weigh 90kg. My 'fighting weight' should be about 80 - 82kg. I have no fat on my legs but have a bit up-top on my upper body.

I ride to and from work 5 days a week (26km each day round trip).

I could go for a ride each weekend if this would help???

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Diet ideas would be great too!

Default Re: Losing weight

You will get a lot of different responses to this, there are many different solutions and some work for them but not others.

Loosing fat is 80% about diet and 20% about exercise, but you need both to acheive your goals.

Most people are consuming many more calories than they realise, often hidden or empty calories, meaning things that don't fill you up but pack the calories in, such as a soft drink. There are more calories in a 600ml bottle of coke than you would of consumed on your homeward bound trip.

I highy recommend that you log your exercise and food in www.fitday.com and learn from that information.
