GAINING WEIGHT WHEN CYCLING I've heard this a few times now from people, when they start long cycling (1-5 hours) that they actually gain weight rather than lose it. So how could this happen?? Is there something wrong with you?? The answer is actually simple. You are simply over consuming calories (Food) during and after your cycle. The amount of calories you burn on a long cycle can very easily be negated with a week of over consuming. Say you burn 2000 calories on your cycle. Thats just 285 calories of over eating each day and your cycle is balanced out (2 spoons of peanut butter, a large slice of pizza or a bottle of lucozade for example). I've actually heard of people almost eating about 2000 calories on there cycle with energy gels, sports drinks and stopping multiple times for food. For the first hour of exercise water is sufficient. For the next 2 hours a diluted sports drink would be fine its only after that you would need to stop for food. Yes you need to refuel but you don't need to refuel with more than you have burnt off. Just because you have done a long cycle doesn't mean you can eat as much food as you like and still expect to lose weight.

The other morning I was up bright and early and headed to the gym to do some cardio before work. Something I had been doing for the last few weeks. But today was different, today was weigh in day. I was feeling optimistic. I had a pretty good week I progressed my cardio and my daily activity was consistent. I had seen a nice drop in weight the last few weeks so I was expecting the same. I jumped on the scales and it hit me like a ton of bricks, I was exactly the same weight and I must admit I was disappointed 😞 I worked hard all week and I thought everything was on track. So I thought to myself how do I take this do I just give up or do I keep pushing on. Then I used my own advice that I give to people all the time. Use it as motivation to get a good result next week. We all have bad weeks or weeks where the scales doesn't move or even goes up, including trainers. It's how we deal with that disappointment that will determine our results 😊
