No such thing as "wrong things" Portion control, eat smaller meals. That is it. You want a pie, have one, but only one, and maybe once a month, Couple of beers when you fancy, but not all night drinking. A curry with rice,as a treat. For me cycling everyday at a reasonable speed, means I can eat pretty much any food I like, and lose weight. 90lbs since Pentacost 2011.What is a good diet for cycling? I'm eating a lot but probably all the wrong things.
