I've lost 20 lbs since June. I have read some of Grant's blog from his new book and I have read Just Ride. He has many good points What works for me: no carbs.No toast or grains for breakfast. Milk has lots of sugar. I'll eat 2 scrambled eggs with some chopped turkey and onions.No more Friday pizza night.No more homemade bread.I snack on fruit..a few nuts ,apples my fave.I drink lots of water.I SOMETIMES do eat pancakes BEFORE a strenuous bike ride. I ride my road bike for 90 miles/week, intense exercise and weight loss. I don't eat any carbs after exercise . I drink coconut water during and after exercise..It works for me for recovery(low calories, 400 gms potassium) No energy drinks or sugar filled fruit juice. Eat dinner early as possible.No snacking after dinner. It's okay for your stomach to feel hungry or empty.VERY IMPORTANT..portion size, portion size. My wife and I split a rib eye, or chicken breast.Switch from 12" plate to 9" plate.Cut out fried food... you can roast or grill. or steam vegetables and meat.Same for fish.Stay away from prepared foods from the grocery.They are full of sodium and fat. Cook from scratch.Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.I don't drink alcohol.Eat lots of salads but limit those heavy salad dressings. Everyone is different....As you age your metabolism slows and it takes more to burn off the calories. That's what works for me. Hope that get's you motivated. I feel better.It's easier to climb those hills. Jon
