Tried it. My experience was that if you've got pounds to lose, it's really good. Once I lost the more excess pounds I found that I was plateauing and I couldn't just eat whatever. I don't think my metabolism is great in any case, and I'm 44, so to keep lean I have to essentially count calories.
Thanks. I'm mostly concerned with losing the 10 lbs I put on since the pandemic started. My riding hours and TSB is going up now that I have finally gotten a more regular schedule, but the poundage isn't budging. I rode for 90 min unstructured this morning, mostly z1 and z2. I don't think I could do much intensity in the mornings. 3 hours to go and actually feel pretty good.
