Exercise doesn’t burn as many calories as you would expect.

This nearly 2 hour ride @150 watts burned perhaps 700 calories.

My typical 30-45 min run burns a few hundred calories.

Thats a few donuts worth.

For weight control… we need to fix what we eat. Nothing terribly demanding. Eat whatever whole foods you prefer. It’s often the snacking and morning drinks that get us.

I’m very skilled at not buying junk at the market. But if it finds its way into my house I’m awful at avoiding it.

So my answer is simple. Simple, but not easy. Except for fruit and some nuts, no other snacks around. Well… maybe a pint of gelato every now and then ;-)

But seriously. Eliminate the few hundred extra calories from snacks or drinks we don’t need- don’t get me started on Starbucks and Dunkin— and you should see that weight slowly come off.
