It's been a year since I largely stopped all bread,pasta, white potatoes, alcohol, etc ( and already avoided processed/ fast food, refined sugar, soft drinks,etc.) and largely live on oatmeal, poached eggs, some fruit, and big spinach/kale salads with 1/2 a baked chicken breast, with ultra low cal italian dressing. I'm riding a road-tired mountain bike in rolling hills for 1-2 hours, nearly every day, and the few off days are a 1 hr fast walk or the gym. I'm hoping to drop only another 10 pounds or so, but man, it's been like pulling teeth !!!!! I'm sure me being in my mid 50's is a big factor, but it's bizarre how much of a fight it is to lose every single pound.
BTW, I raced road bikes until my early 40's, and was crazy lean at about 170, but a decade+ back in the States really packed on the spam !!
