how about water therapy?.... well, there's a theory going around that, if you drink a glass of water before eating, it would give you a sense of fullness in your stomach, thereby lowering your appetite or desire to eat. someone who's into detox says this is bad daw, because the water "dillutes" the natural digestive juices in your stomach. you're not supposed to drink daw before or during a meal, but 30 minutes(?) after. can anyone verify if this is true?

sleeping slows down metabolism, therefore you eat less. conversely, if you don't sleep, you tend to eat during your awake hours. seriously, if you want to lose weight, try the following, even for 15 days. 1. don't eat between major meals. that means goodbye burgers, instant noodles, etc. they are high in sodium anyway. 2. get rid of softdrinks with your meals. better yet, get rid of softdrinks from your life. 3. get rid of the bottomless iced-tea!!!!! 4. have oatmeal for breakfast. have rice if you will bike. 5. for dessert, go for fruits, rather than cakes. try this and you will definitely lose weight.

I lost 65 lbs when I started mtb biking & cycling (road racing) for 9 months of continous riding. Secret is only spinning... 20 kms daily and 200+ kms during the week end (saturday & sunday combined). My blood sugar dropped from 530 max to just 105 max.
Now, I had to gain some weight due to the type of ride that I'm in - freeride & downhill. I gained 20 lbs... currently, my weight now is at 140 lbs.
As my experience, in order to start burning out fat, we need to reach our cardio threshold level. The only way to accomplish this is to do spinning.

As posted on Roadbike Rider Digest:
How Can I Lose This Ugly Fat? Question: Scott's Spin in newsletter No. 270 ("Food Fight") was very funny but horribly poignant for me. I'm at that messy mid-50 age. My friend said to me as I reached the top of Sierra Nevada last week, "You would be a formidable climber if you lost 30 pounds." But how? I've always been a vegetarian, I don't drink milk, I never buy sugar. But he's right -- there's 15 kg of ugly fat around my middle and it won't go away. Personally the Landis thing of not eating at all would be easy for me but I'm told that just puts your body into shut-down, save-everything mode. Can you recommend any tried-and-tested strategies for losing weight? -- John Coach Fred Matheny Replies: The basics of weight loss are well-known and have been verified by a large body of research: Over time, if you burn more calories than you consume, you'll lose weight. But it isn't this simple because the human body isn't a calculating machine. Many other factors enter into the equation. For instance, as you mentioned, if you go on a severe diet your body has been trained by generations of natural selection to think you've encountered a famine. So it slows your metabolism and you burn fewer calories in daily life. That's great if there really is a food shortage but not so good if you want to lose weight. We often think that what we eat makes a big difference in how fat we are, but that is rarely the case. A vegetarian diet isn't proof against carrying too much fat. Some vegetarian diets are skimpy in calories while others are calorie-dense. It's too many calories that makes people fat, not what those calories come from. So how can you lose those 15 kilos of fat and become a formidable climber? Simply find ways to reduce your total caloric intake slowly. Shoot for reducing calories each day by about 250. This may mean not using salad dressing, skipping dessert, or using applesauce on your toast rather than jam. The idea is to cut calories but not so much that your body reacts by slowing your metabolism. The next step is to increase your daily exercise by about 250 calories. That translates to an additional 6 miles or so each day on the bike or 2.5 more miles of walking or jogging. You can also burn a few extra calories by parking farther from the office and walking, taking the stairs rather than the elevator, and walking or riding to the store for milk and bread rather than driving. In this way you should, in theory anyway, lose one pound (about half a kilogram) every seven days because you'll be running a 500-calorie-per-day deficit and a pound of fat contains 3,500 calories. You'd be climbing like Lance by spring. In reality, it usually isn't that straightforward. Some people have bodies that work overtime to retain the extra stored energy that fat represents. They have a personal "setpoint" -- a weight and body fat percentage that they won't be able to go below for any length of time. If you work hard at losing weight using the method I just outlined, and you're still toting extra fat around your middle, you'll just have to realize that there's nothing you can do about it. In cycling, that means you won't be a "formidable climber" like your friend says, but maybe you can beat the skinny guys in sprints or time trials. And be happy that if a famine hits, you'll be around a lot longer than those lean people.

So it slows your metabolism and you burn fewer calories in daily life. That's great if there really is a food shortage but not so good if you want to lose weight. Now that we are convinced that starving the body will actually cause it to store fat, let's try the other way around. Eat more than usual, but expend more than what you're eating. This will make the body understand that there's no famine. No famine, no need to save. Excess input = freedom to output. It's like... have excess money = freedom to shop and upgrade your bike. Make sense? Don't take my word for it. It's worth 2 cents. I've never lost a single pound in my life! ;D

Yes, i agree to most of the suggestions, ride more, eat less, etc.
But most especially, try baby-sitting a hyperactive 2 year old boy. I should know. I have one.
I lose 12 lbs. in 4 months. I am now 150 lbs. I still want to get rid of some stubborn flabs though.

Getting leaner will actually make some parts feel bigger and therefore do more things than you can imagine. I discovered, in my younger years, that not all bodies are created equal. There is a question of compatibility and as a result, the ability to perform tricky gymnastics. So choose your partner accordingly. Once dated a ramp model who taught me some moves that otherwise left me stumped reading a manual for years. Couldn't perform the same with women who are not as lean and light and limber... not unlike bikes actually. Same principle. Some reasons are just enough to get you inspired to get lean! If you know what I mean!

if you don't sleep right, then you cannot ride more This is correct. Don't sleep right, the body does not rest properly. Lack of rest, the body does not heal properly. Young people (in their teens and mid-twenties) do not feel the effect of "puyat" (lack of rest) because of the X-factor (just like why Wolverine heals faster than everybody). When you're young, your body is in overdrive. Healing and growing and replacing worn out tissues. When you reach 30 and beyond... that's the scary part. Everything slows down. You don't rest properly, organ functions are pushed to the limits. Organs work non-stop. Every added stress makes them work more and tires them more. Imagine lactic acid building in your legs when pedalling and imagine not giving them the proper cool down and the proper rest, and not giving them the proper nutrition. How will the body keep healthy? What is the sense of losing weight by sacrificing health? That is what you're doing with sleeping late or not getting enough of it. I will send the bill later... 2 cents.

gadgets, where are you from? you seem like a fascinating guy to ride with If you use your GPS and check the triangulation of the 3 churches: Binondo Church, Quiapo church, and Sta.Cruz church, you will find the zone where I tread everyday. In this area you can find exotic food, DVDs and what-have-yous. And let's not forget 168, it's right in the middle of every traffic! Grrr... Looking forward to meeting you someday! You don't just sound like an interesting guy, I know you are! But priorities in life take all my time. There's: 1. Family 2. Work 3. Sports and hobbies and then there's so many interesting women and so little time! I'm putting you on the 5th slot on my list! P.S. Maybe we can have a "Panu pumayat-tumaba" workshop EB next year! I think this EB covers everybody, young and old, every athlete, new or longtime! I'll be the speaker for "Panu-tumanda-ng-walang-pinagbago" theme. ;D P.P.S. If you're talking about bike riding, I'm the guy who's pedalling like crazy, huffing and puffing, sweating like crazy and still can't catch up with the group. It's a fascinating phenomenon that defies logic, really. If we're talking about a different kind of ride... I don't think this is the right forum... ;D ;D ;D
