Eat the right foods
Eating the right foods will not only help you lose weight, but also fuel your ride too. Eat lots of protein, not just for muscle recovery, but also for the satiating benefits (it makes you feel full. Ensure you get plenty of dark, leafy green veg and berries high in antioxidants.
Do not think you should cut out the carbs completely. Remember that if you’re on your bike for an extended period, you must consume enough carbohydrate to fuel your ride. Don’t go overboard – maintain a healthy attitude to food. Make sure every plate is full of colour and you won’t go far wrong!
