Once we hit the hills/mountains of the east, I lost the fat I had gained. One thing that I am sure helped was cutting down on the number of second breakfasts we grew accustomed to in the Midwest, where portion sizes were largest.
I found the same to be true. People ask me how much weight I lose doing weeklong rides and riding across the US. I actually put on a few pounds. Comes from consuming more and being less selective about what I eat……plus a lot more sodas with caffeine.
