Four weeks and 10 pounds lost.! I am a avid cyclist and some smaller triathlons too. I rode 3000 miles last year and 5 sprint tris. I am 5-10 and 190 now. According to BMI that is overweight but I don’t think that index is good. My ideal weight is 175-180 which is my college weight and I was a division athlete. That is the upper limit of “normal” for BMI. You will never convince me that a guy 5’10 and 120lbs is normal range and 175 is over weight. That’s just wrong.

Anyway the diet works for me. Despite my exercise, I still gained weight on a regular 2000 cal diet. I had to go to a 1400 cal diet to lose. I was down last year to 180 but the holidays had me back to 200. Now I feel this is a better way to maintain my weight. Last weekend I was in Tahoe at a conference and order fish and chips then decided to get an extra order of chips. I thought the Monday scale would so a setback. But no, still on track! It seems to regulate the weight. I like a challenge so the fast days are no problem.
