There is no such thing as bad food. Dollar weight, you simply need to be in a caloric deficit, that is all, and that is the only way excluding liposuction. To maintain muscle mass, you need protein. From there fats or carbs is personal preference when it comes to far loss. For cycling, most can do about an hour before really needing fuel during the ride.
GCN recently did a video with Ollie and Connor doing a 140km ride. Connor are zero and only drank water during the ride. They monitored glucose levels during the ride and even did 5 minute efforts on 4 hills during the ride. He said he didn't really feel the BONK until the very end.

I get the intent of the statement, but it's just wrong. Bad Food would be anything highly processed that provides calories and little else beyond maybe an unneeded insulin response.

It was Hank & Connor and Connor reckoned that he went as long as he did because of his diet and carryover ability to push through he learned while a professional cyclist.
IMHO getting rid of as much processed stuff as possible is the first step, and the second is being portion aware. E.G. 100 Grams of pistachios is 576 calories. Pour out 100g and see how much that is in a small bowl. Maybe 50g is enough to satisfy you?

A small percentage of those who are overweight have metabolic health - normal A1C, good HDL levels, no insulin resistance.

The only "good" and "bad" foods are what fit your fitness goals or if it was prepared well or poorly. The food itself is not good or bad. To perpetuate this myth also contributes to a possible eating disorder called orthorexia. And pistachios are disgusting anyway. I refuse to even buy mixed nuts with them in it.

Possibly a reference to rapid weight loss causing gallstones, which is a thing.

same here. I wan to lose weight too. I started run every morning and keep on a healthy eating.Plus I found local beauty clinic novuskin in Denver where I want to book a few procedures of coolsculpting and body treatment. I read many positive reviews about these procedures, they can help to burn fat and get fit faster. Hope it will work for me too.
Unless of course this was an odd plug for that clinic...
