Hey

If you’re over 40 and trying to lose weight through cycling — but the scales haven’t budged — you’re not alone.

I speak to so many riders who think the answer lies in doing more — more miles, more turbo sessions, more long weekend rides. It feels logical, right? Burn more calories, lose more weight.

But here’s the thing… for most cyclists over 40, riding more isn’t the problem — it’s the focus. Too many put all their energy into getting the perfect training plan and not enough into what really moves the needle when it comes to fat loss: your nutrition and daily habits off the bike.

And I get it. When you’ve got a big goal coming up — maybe a sportive, a PB, or an FTP target — it’s natural to obsess over training structure. You start reading about zone training, balancing strength work, managing fatigue, and fitting it all around your job and family life.

That’s all great if you’re chasing performance. But if your goal is fat loss, that same mindset won’t get you the results you want.

Find out how to finally lose weight and keep it off in this week's newsletter below.
