Cycling meal plan for weight loss

I get lots of traffic to the site for people looking for a cycling meal plan for weight loss.

And those people are smart, because they're looking for a way to lose weight by controlling their diet.

Let me tell you a little story.

My weight's been a yo-yo since I was little. Chubby kid with problems with asthma. As a teenager I got fit. Then when I entered full time work I got fat. I am 5'7″ and blew out to 88kg.

Anyway, about 2005 I started trying to lose weight.

I started riding to work, doing weights, running and eating a low carb, high protein, medium fat diet with little to no processed food. (This diet is very, very bad for your health but that's a story for another day. Subscribe to the mailing list at the end of the post to find out about that.)

Bottom line, I lost 27kg to get to a 61kg race weight. It was hard work, took 2 years, but here I am 7 years later, at 63kg (you can't beat Father Time!).

Did I follow a cycling meal plan for weight loss?

Yes.

Was it complicated?

No.

Any silver bullets?

Nope.

What I've found in the subsequent years, is that regardless of how much exercise I do, I can largely control my weight by eating smart and healthy.

And you know what? A cycling meal plan for weight loss is super easy and super simple.

My daily eating is largely vegan and looks like this:

Breakfast: porridge with organic raisins, dates, golden syrup, cinnamon. NO milk. (I blend 2 bananas and some water if I want it more liquidy.) OR 5-10 banana smoothie with organic vanilla powder, water and Rapadura sugar.

Snack: 5 banana smoothie, dates, bananas.

Lunch: rice and vegies, cous cous and vegies, coconut curry.

Dinner: rice and vegies, cous cous and vegies, kidney bean tacos (no cheese), coconut curry, veggie pizza (no cheese), baked potato with kidney bean taco topping or salad.

No alcohol during the week. No processed stuff like muffins, ice cream chocolate biscuits.

I ride anywhere from 100km-400km a week. All that changes is I eat more carbohydrates for energy.

The aim here is low fat and high carb. (If you're interested in knowing why I eat like this, email me.)

I will very occasionally eat meat, and if I do, it's a very small amount and low fat. The choice to not eat meat is primarily a health one.

And there it is, a cycling meal plan for weight loss. Simple, huh.

Now, lots of people think you need to eat protein and fat to lose weight (hi, paleo folks!).

And some people just can't come to grips with the idea of eating vegan.

So if that's you, you may be interested in a plan written by a sports dietician and nutritionist, that is a more traditional cycling meal plan for weight loss.

I had this plan specially commissioned for those interested in a cycling meal plan for weight loss.

It's simple and it works. Don't download this and expect a magic solution or silver bullet (because there ain't one).
