110k On the Bike a Day! Will This Diet Help Me Loose Weight?
Posted: 01-12-04 16:56pm

I am 24 male, I weight 154 and trying to weigh 130. I do 110k on the excerise bike a day. I usually eat about 2000 calories a day and burn off about 5000. I am a vegan and I eat nothing but frosted mini wheats and fruit. 1500 of these calories come from the mini wheats. Will this help me loose weight?

This realy doesn't sound healthy.. If you're that keen on losing weight, cut back on the starchy carbs and sugars, a lot of which comes from fruit. Try upping the protein intake. As a vegan, there are many alternatives, you can get protein powder shakes, I personally love the orange creamsicle one from popeyes, and at the bulk barn, they have this great stuff called trexturized vegetable protein. Just add water, and voila! Looks and tastes pretty much like ground beef, but it's all veggie!! And alllllllll protein. Increasing the protein will help in muscle rebuilding, and more muscle tissue will make you burn more fat! Resulting in a leaner look. Hope I helped some.
Oh, and 110k a day? Sorta excessive. Try some cardio and weights... I personally like doing a half hour of cardio, hour of weights, then another half hour of cardio 6 times a week. Works for me, but everyone is different!
Good luck!
