Cyclists over 40 should not diet like sedentary people.

That might sound obvious.

But it’s one of the biggest mistakes I see.

A cyclist trying to lose weight will often copy the same advice given to someone who doesn’t train.

Cut carbs.

Skip breakfast.

Fast until lunch.

Eat less every day.

Avoid sugar completely.

That might work for someone who is not asking their body to perform.

But if you’re riding, doing intervals, going long at the weekend, and trying to build fitness, your body needs fuel.

The goal is not to eat as little as possible.

The goal is to lose weight while still riding well.
