Help losing 20 lbs

[steve garro]

I sit on my ass all day. I have to keep my weight down or I'll blow out my shoulders. I eat like I'm 43, not 23. Two tacos, not ten (I really used to eat 10 tacos)
Don't eat anything "pre-cooked" or "ready to eat" - eat things you must prepare. It helps you two ways. it's good food, and you burn calories making it. That said, have cleaned spinach, washed veggies & fruits so you can assemble good stuff. Always avoid anything - ANYTHING that has been refined to a fine white powder.
I don't eat while I ride unless I'm going over 4hrs full throttle, just a bottle of gatoraide & 1/2 a bagel & CC before.
I like beer - it is a good sports/recovery drink, but not a 12pk. at a time = bad. It's called a "beer gut" for a reason.
I eat a good sized b-fast & little or no lunch, mostly H2O and maybe a small snack. I find lunch makes me sleepy, dinner before 6PM if possible, and like I said - two tacos, not ten.

I did one big weight loss 215lbs >>>>> 155lbs - stopped powerlifting & started cycling @ 16yrs old. I was ripped.
one 195lbs >>>>>>> 170lbs - went from firefighting back to racing, trimmed down from ripped to slim racing weight.
worse = 175lbs racing weight >>>>>> 115lbs trauma.
going from 115lbs back to current weight of 175lbs was TOUGH - had to eat bacon, ice cream & cokes for 4mths!

Good luck! - Garro.
