It\u2019s counter-intuitive, but eating a bit more on your long bike rides will help you to lose weight. This is better than doing the opposite. Some people who are trying to lose weight cycling will not eat anything at all on a long bike ride.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, small snacks at frequent intervals on your long bike rides (over 90 minutes) will mean that you will be much less hungry when you get home. This will therefore make you less likely to binge eat after your bike ride. Be sure that you snack on something healthy and sustaining, so you don&#8217;t undermine your efforts. And don&#8217;t overdo it: The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour of exercise. Your body cannot absorb more than that. One banana per hour will do it. Or one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3RRKgji\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision Hydration Fuel Gel packs<\/a> shown below. These have the advantage that they are easy to eat on the bike, and easy to carry in your cycling jersey pocket.<\/p>\r\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-228\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-228 tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"2\" class=\"column-1\"><center>Supplements that We Recommend for Cyclists Trying to Lose Weight <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><figure id=\"attachment_44662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44662\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45b7uGJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44662 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Precision-Hydration-Energy-gel-table.jpg?resize=150%2C198&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Precision Hydration Fuel Gel with 30 grams of carbs to fuel your long bike rides. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45b7uGJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please click here to see the current best price on Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><figure id=\"attachment_44819\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44819\" style=\"width: 112px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3RRKgji\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44819\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nuun.jpg?resize=112%2C135&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"112\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44819\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nuun Sport Electrolyte Tablets.

But you need to choose a really good energy bar, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FRMHJL\">Cliff Bar<\/a>. These contain a blend of complex carbs for sustained energy, plus simple carbs that you can break down quickly for immediate energy. They also contain protein and fat to balance the carbs. One chocolate chip Clif Bar contains the following: 260 calories; 43 grams of carbohydrates; 10 grams of protein; 17 grams of sugar and 6 grams of fat. So half a Cliff Bar every 30 minutes would be ideal.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you want a lower sugar\/higher protein option, my personal favorite are <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42V139u\">Pure Protein Bars<\/a>\u00a0(shown in the graphic above). These are delicious, and contain 20 grams of protein and only 3 grams of sugar. The macro balance of protein, carbs and fat is excellent. These are great for a protein boost after a workout. My favorite flavor is the salted caramel, while Joe prefers the chocolate flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/does-exercise-help-with-fat-loss\/\">Exercise Doesn\u2019t Help with Fat Loss \u2013 A Myth that Needs to be Busted?<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<h3>Avoid Sugary Drinks<\/h3>\r\n<p>So as not to consume too many carbs, do NOT wash this down with a sugary drink such as Gatorade. Instead, choose a low-carb electrolyte-hydrating fluid. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KrUcLd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nuun Sport is a great option<\/a>. It&#8217;s sweetened with Stevia, a natural sweetener, and contains just a tiny bit of sugar to enhance water absorption. Plus it comes in dissolvable pill form, so you can carry them with you on your bike, and add to water as needed.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Eat Plenty of Protein\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<p>One of your goals is to grow lean muscle to replace the fat you are shedding. To meet this goal, you need two things: enough exercise and enough protein. To ensure\u00a0 you get enough protein without pushing up your total calories, consider using a protein powder.

Set up a regular time interval to weigh yourself. Many people suggest that you don\u2019t do it every day, as weight fluctuations can be discouraging. However, if it helps you to weigh yourself every day, then by all means, go right ahead! Personally, I find the only way to avoid gaining weight is to weigh myself every single day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Tracking Your Rides:<\/strong> The easiest and best way to keep track of your training rides is to wear a smart watch that records your bike rides and your heart rate. That way, you can look back on your progress. I have my smart watch set up to automatically upload my rides to Garmin, and then my Garmin automatically shares my rides with Strava. Then, I use my stats on Strava to motivate myself to always do a bit more this month than I did last month. That way, I keep making progress!<\/p>\r\n<p>Of course, you don&#8217;t have to have Strava.

The theory was that you burn a higher proportion of fat than carbs while doing low intensity exercise. And also that you would burn a whole lot of calories during that long, long ride.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>It is true that you can expect to burn around 400 to 600 calories on a long bike ride. See our post called <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/how-many-calories-burned-cycling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Many Calories Can You Burn Cycling?<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>But<\/strong> the reality is that most people just don\u2019t have endless hours to spare. Plus, research has shown that that advice was somewhat incorrect, anyway. Our bodies actually respond better to high-intensity exercise, especially the kind that you do when interval training. This is also known as <strong>High Intensity Interval Training<\/strong>, or HIIT. These are exercise sessions that include very short bursts of very intense effort.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Our post, a <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/complete-bike-training-plan-for-cyclists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complete Guide to Bike Training,<\/a> explains in very simple terms how you can get started on interval training today. In the meantime, all you have to do is incorporate short bursts of very high-intensity pedaling on your regular bike rides. I used to do this on my way to work. Just two minutes of high intensity, followed by four minutes of regular cycling, will do it. Repeat the cycle five times, and you have just completed a basic HIIT workout!<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3>Benefits of HIIT<\/h3>\r\n<p>HIIT offers the opportunity to burn up more calories, and get fitter faster, while allocating <strong>less time<\/strong> to training. For example, just a few minutes of very intense exercise has been shown to generate significant fitness and health gains. See our post called <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/hiit-training-fights-aging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Science Shows HIIT on a Bike is the Best Exercise to Fight Aging \u2013 And We Show You How to Do it!&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>As explained in that post, it has been shown that it is possible to <strong>get just as fit in 30 minutes a week <\/strong>as in 2.5 hours per week! This breaks down to <strong>three 10-minute workouts<\/strong>, as compared to <strong>three 50-minute workouts<\/strong>. No, it\u2019s <strong>not<\/strong> another crazy get-fit-fast fad, and you don\u2019t have to buy anything. It\u2019s simply more proof of the enormous health and cardiovascular benefits of HIIT. In short, a huge benefit of HIIT is that it is the quickest way to get dramatically fitter, as explained further in this post:<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/reasons-bike-interval-training\/\">7 Reasons to do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Your Bike \u2013 And How to Add HIIT to Your Cycling<\/a>.<\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h4>HIIT Leads to Less Hunger<\/h4>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Also, there is an added benefit to HIIT. You usually feel a bit <strong>less<\/strong> hungry after an intense bike ride than after a long, slow ride. So, you are far less likely to make that classic mistake: binge eating more calories after a bike ride than you actually burned up on the ride!<\/p>\r\n<h4>HIIT on an Indoor Trainer<\/h4>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>An ideal way to do a couple of high-intensity cycling workout is to do a structured HIIT (high intensity interval training ) session at home on a trainer. You can turn your outdoor bike into an indoor trainer in just a few minutes with an indoor trainer.

This does cause instant weight loss. However, don\u2019t be fooled. It\u2019s all water, not fat. So, this practice is both pointless and even potentially dangerous. And as soon as you re-hydrate, all of the weight will come right back.<\/p>\r\n<p>Also, don&#8217;t go out on Day 1 and bike for 4 hours to burn 1600 calories. You won&#8217;t be able to sit on your bike for days, and that can be very disheartening.
