The 5 rules for losing weight by cycling fast<\/h2>\n

The premise is a must: it is fundamental combine a balanced diet with cycling activity<\/strong>. Don't think that because you drive so many kilometres you will be able to eat out and indulge in a more cheerful diet. Results also and above all come from good eating habits preserved over a long period. But now let's take a look at the 5 rules to follow to lose weight on a bike!<\/p>\n

1. Set yourself a goal<\/h3>\n

You cannot centre your focus if you do not understand and idealise the weight you want to achieve and in how much time. Be realistic and do not set yourself impossible goals<\/strong> to be achieved in a short time. There is nothing worse than setting goals that are impossible to achieve, frustration is not your friend and demotivation is just around the corner.<\/p>\n

2. Food and training: they go hand in hand<\/h3>\n

Eating with a view to your training<\/strong> cycling is a fundamental thing. Intense activity usually induces hunger and we tend, often, to increase what we eat because we are convinced that we have burnt a lot of calories. The problem? Easily putting back everything you have lost, with the result that you always look the same.<\/p>\n

It is therefore very important to keep an eye on and respect the parameters of your basal metabolism<\/strong>calories you need every day to live, aware of the fact that if you exceed that amount, your weight will go up, if you eat less by combining cycling with activity, on the other hand, your weight will drop noticeably.<\/p>\n

For the calculation of basal metabolism<\/strong>The following information is needed:<\/p>\n

- sex;
\n- age;
\n- height;
\n- weight;<\/p>\n

Here is for you a online calculator<\/a> for your basal metabolism!<\/p>\n

3. Drink a lot and eat often during training<\/h3>\n

Drink plenty of water<\/strong>, it seems trite to say, is important for two main reasons: it keeps you hydrated and reduces your sense of appetite. In this respect, we recommend that you drink half a litre of water as soon as you have finished cycling before eating and this will help you reduce your hunger.<\/p>\n

It may sound like nonsense, but in order to get positive feedback from your metabolism, favouring its activation, and to avoid arriving super hungry (in the series, I would even eat the table) at lunch or dinner time, it is useful to eating often during training<\/strong>. Take some protein and energy bars with you.<\/p>\n

4. Slow gait<\/h3>\n

The more time you spend on the bike, the greater the energy expenditure. One of the most effective methods of losing weight on a bike is the LISS<\/strong> (Low Intensity Susteined State). As the name suggests, it is aslow-paced but sustained activity over a long period of time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Are you wondering how many calories you can burn by following this methodology? We can't give you a precise answer, as there are so many variables (from your weight to the aerodynamics of your bike to the type of ground you ride on), but we offer you 3 case studies that indicate the calorie consumption in one hour of training<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
