It takes a lot of miles. Not impossible but pretty damned hard. I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks and 5 pounds of fat in 2 days. The three weeks was a tour in remote area doing 100+ loaded touring miles per day in very hill, wet, cold terrain. The 2 days was a 1200k. BF measured with skinfold calipers. Normally, 2 pounds is easy but 3 pounds of fat loss per week is about as much as I can do week over week. I have ridden many 1000+ mile weeks and never lost 10 pounds of fat in a week, but then again I was eating at will.
