Don't you mean X 10? A multiple of 10 would get most people into the ballpark of their metabolic baseline, that's a nice simple way to remember it!Originally Posted by azdroptop .
I have always used body weight x 1,000 as a good starting point for calorie consumption. Its not perfect and I'm not a dietician, but it works. 175 and generally start at 1750 calories a day for a base line.
OK, I'm a bit confused by this. On the LSD, wouldn't you have burned 1200 calories (600 per hour for 2 hours), vs. 800 doing 1 hour of high intensity?Originally Posted by azdroptop .
Consider a 2 hour LSD training ride where you ride at an easy pace and burn 600 calories vs a higher intensity interval training ride where you burn 800 calories in an hour. Your percentage of calories burned from fat may be higher in the LSD ride, but overall calories are less and your total number of fat calories will be higher from the higher intensity ride.
This is my strategy of choice. When I was dropping weight last year just counted the "calories in" a little more scrutinously and did things like having one slice of pizza instead of two, eliminating soda, and substituting a side of corn with my burger instead of the usual fries, etc.Originally Posted by jaygeephoto .
Good old fashioned calorie counting and cutting out **** has always worked for me. Presently I do not practice what I preach and have found myself almost 30 pounds overweight. My other issue is to think I can treat myself to whatever I want after a long ride. Re-reading the original South Beach Diet book always gives me religion though - enough to turn down french fries and ice cream
Robby, The other changes include bucking my genetic tendencies by having perfect blood work (cholesterol, triglycerides, pressure, sugar, etc) for the first time in my life. I also feel ten years younger. My chronic stomache problems have disappeared. I have ENERGY! The funny thing is, I eat more now than I ever did, its just good, fresh delicious food.robbyh said:Hi J Boogie. Interesting to read your reply regarding your paleo diet. As you know I'm interested in cycling to try shedding a few pounds. My main worry is losing muscle mass in the process(although I know some will almost certainly be inevitable). Am interested to hear of these "other" changes you were talking about in your previous post when you get time!
Hi jay, most of the stuff I can find supporting this view is essentially marketing spin or very suss studies funded by industry. I did only have a quick search in between eating a beef sandwich and milk shake.Originally Posted by jaygeephoto .
Veganism is an obnoxious trend that goes against millions of years of human development and natural selection as a species (sorry Kansas).
Please provide evidence supporting your outrageous claims, and try to use something called "objectivity" instead of applying the thick coating of bias BS that you've slathered on the topic already.jaygeephoto said:Veganism is an obnoxious trend that goes against millions of years of human development and natural selection as a species (sorry Kansas).Â
I'm not a vegan, and neither is anyone around me. The point was that you don't know no clue about that which you were talking.jaygeephoto said:OK Al, calm down. If veganism works for you and those around you, that's great. I have no evidence to support my subjective claim except the thick coating of bias-ply body fat that I carry around because I slather two much animal fat on my white bread. Oh, woe is me!
Ah. So you think you've got a sense of humor worth displaying. I guess we all have our delusions.jaygeephoto said:Apparently neither do any of the people who taught me human anthropology or the writers of textbooks I read. Gonna have to set those guys straight over at The New England Journal of Medicine too. What does one eat that causes a loss of sense of humor? Does your bike have a saddle? Keep riding, keep smiling!

This is very true.Originally Posted by hyperliterate .
Simple portion control works too. Also, don't eat until you're full. It takes the body a while to signal satiation, so stop short of that.
Eating slowly helps prevent flying by that point at which you start to feel full. If you eat fast, it's much easier to end up beyond full and in the range of bloated or worse.hyperliterate said:Simple portion control works too. Also, don't eat until you're full.
