Pre-breakfast ride = weight loss?
I have read in this forum and a couple of other places that it's a good idea to take a moderately hard ride of 60-90 minutes before breakfast to lose weight. Most sources mentioned having some coffee (caffeine) before starting. True?
PS -
Today, before breakfast, I rode 20 miles with some tough hills in the middle. No caffeine - I don't drink coffee. I felt fine physically after and immediately made and ate an omelet (2 eggs, spinach, onions, peppers) and beans.
Unfortunately at mile 9.6 I lost the cadence sending unit for my Garmin. Tie wraps can't break - it's against the rules! I hit 42 pedaling (50/11) on the way back, but I had to resort to calculations to figure out how fast I was spinning - I didn't know I could spin 120! I usually start to flutter around 107 and I don't remember ever seeing above 110.
