Cuts sugar from tea and coffee - puts half a pot of jam on his breakfast bagel
formit0404 oh the irony!
I have maybe 2 cups of coffee a day, the second, lighter, You won't see me cutting sugar there, nor do I eat jam, once every 2 years maybe, so, who wins.???
He isn't eating that everyday as opposed to the daily coffee.
That's why I don't cut it :P
This guy is really trusting. He leaves his front door open, and leaves his bike in front of the coffee shop.Worst of all he left the candy jar open!
he wouldn't last long where i live
Here in Mexico City you can hardly keep a bycicle secure INSIDE your home😜
We never lock our house in Scotland and I don't even own a bike lock 😉
I would take a bite of that bar
Its the uk lol
I started out at 220 lbs, and lost 60 lbs by bike riding. I couldn't even ride two miles when I started. But every day I rode / took the train to work. I rode my bike on the train route and pushed myself out to the next stop and the next stop and the next stop til I was able to ride the 10 miles out to work, once I made it to work I started pushing my stops back home. Soon, and I mean it happened fast, I was able to ride round trip no problem. 20 miles a day, plus weekend rides of 40 miles. I gave up drinking calories and cut out snacking. Am I super skinny? No, but I can do a forty mile bike ride round trip and ride a pretty steep canyon. I feel great.... :D
About four to five months. Once I got my distance up, the chub just fell away...
I stopped snacking, if i did snsck it was fruit, and gave up drinking calories. I added my calories just from my fraps and soda and that was almost 2000 calories a day! I dont know if it will work on an excercise bike... I stricktly ride outside.
I weigh 160, i was 220, and 50 years old when i started...
***** Are we a little skeptical of the 60 lbs in 4 to 5 months ?
+LRGHMN some of that could have been water weight. You'd start swearing a whole lot compared to sitting on a train. Assuming 6 months is about 24 weeks then that's a loss of about 2-3 pounds per week. That's not too farfetched for someone who was so heavy. I doubt they would continue losing at that rate going forward though.
For everyone worried about Matt leaving the door open, don't panic, crime hasn't yet been invented where he lives ;-)
Where did he live again? I should drop by : D
+Global Cycling Network Yes, but what about leaving the candy jar open? I bet he's a terrible roommate :D
I was thinking about this the whole video.
Kesav Menon I dont need diets, i stay healthy with genetics. I dont have to lift a finger to stay in shape, but biking helps.
i guess they haven't invented 'diversity', because diversity equals an increase in violent crime and unrest!!!!!!!
I need to thanks you guys for this video. I started cycling last January....... I was 268 lbs........ now I have lost 48 lbs. I followed your tips and trainings subsections. I'm 40 year's old and diabetic.... and with your videos and tips I have changed my nutrition and the way I cycling....... thanks again and keep the good work.
Thanks Luis, that's great work! Nice one.
Luis Sanchez Congratulations!!!!
Thanks kt1pl2...... I weight myself yesterday and for my surprise I lose 6 more pounds. ..... now I'm 213 lbs........ thanks again GCN!!! !!!
You're doing great!
Luis Sanchez great job!
I bought my first road bike a year ago and watched this video around the same time. I followed a lot of the advice as well as cutting down my intake of empty carbs. I downloaded strava and fell in love with chasing segments. Since then I have lost 13 kilos and am in the shape of my life. Thanks GCN!
Henry Rogers well done matey
I was reading this and had to double check it was posted by me in 2020 :-)
Diogo Dias Electrolyte drinks will often be marked as being "zero calories" or "low calorie" as they don't contain (much) energy. Something like this: www.otesports.co.uk/categories/hydro-tabs/ is an electrolyte drink as compared to this: www.otesports.co.uk/categories/energy-drinks/ which is an energy drink.
Also you can make your own electrolyte drinks at home, i do this on the turbo trainer. 1 lemon, 2 oranges, half to quarter of sea salt and top up with water to taste. I not a massive fan of the artifical sugar taste, but put up with it on a ride.
Global Cycling Network hey can you recommend which type of cycle is better to reduce the body weight? do you recommend MTB or Hybrid or Road bike??? let me know
k. vijay Any form of cycling is good to reduce body weight, however weight lose is based on other factors as well. Consistent, organized, exercise plan leads to changes in body weight and body fat, but weight lose also mean changing eating habits, reducing protein from animal fats and products, lower fat intake, and maintaining a good intake of fruits and veg.
just to let you guys know i lost 27kg and still going strong after watching this video. thanks gcn for a great program keep up the good work
Welcome From GCN 🙂
Recently I lost 3kg in just two seconds on the bike. I went over one of those rumble strips at speed and all my water bottles went flying everywhere. Although maybe that isn't quite what you were hoping for.
Hahaha!
I like your idea of stacking calories in the earlier part of the day, "eat like a King in the morning and like a pauper in the evening" :).
It's been in Islamic preaching since always.
Sameer Malik Yeah we can see the benefits of Islamic preaching all over the world 🙄
@@PradeepMenon666 you need to be on high & clean spiritual level to see the truth but sadly like you types are deluded in fake.
@@PradeepMenon666 did anyone from Islam killed anyone in your family or your ancestor?
@@sameermalik5322 Women are not allowed to ride bicycles in Iran, which is governed by Sharia Islam. So are you just informing men?
I Lost 90+ Lbs through Cycling and a low carb Diet I was 232 lbs now i'm 138 lbs I'm 16 and 5"10
Jamaican Egg Head Congratulations dude!
Thank you man ***** I did it by low carb diet and Motivation and determination and exercise
Jamaican Egg Head Nice going man :O
Vinod Kumar Thank you man, :) I was just tired of people calling me fat and I got frustrated
Jamaican Egg Head I did the same thing except I used a longboard. sadly the freshman 15 totally kicked my ass and now I'm 165 lbs
Thank you for the videos. One year ago I was 46 years old 330 lbs 6'3 with a bad back. I know i need to do something. Very low impact. Talk to my doctor he's a cyclist made sense. Now I'm 270 lbs. and one less blood pressure pill. I think why I stick with cycling it's fun. All your videos are Great!
This is the first video of GCN that I watched that open up my mind to cycling world. It's been couple of months and today I've my 3 weeks old Caad Optimo clocked 50km. I'm very optimistic and off course feel great with my new adventure. Thanks to my buddy as well for his encouragement!
Rah. Totally relatable in regards to crashing while riding. It was helpful having you explain the fall out. It takes away the guilt and makes you more aware of the issue. Cheers.
Hello from California in 2019! I’m going to prepare this weekend to start riding again on Monday. Finally recovered from PVNS/TGCT surgery on my left knee. I gained a bit from being inactive for so long. Thanks for this video even though it is 5 years old 😃
I'm in Australia and it brings back fond memories seeing you ride around my old stomping ground. Also reminds me of my attempts and finally conquering Brassknocker Hill! Now subscribed.
I have lost 20 kilos in 4 months. As soon as the pandemic started I turned to biking to manage my stress. I started riding 32 kilometers every day (6am) on my mountain bike but on a paved road, I was still stressed so I included an afternoon ride (6pm) also for 32k. In a little less than 4 months I have lost 20 kilos and I'm 5 kilos away from my target optimal weight. With a sugar-less diet, patience and a twinkle of OCD :) I have managed to keep the riding regimen and loving it.
I just began cycling again....after several decades....I love it! I feel wonderful being on my steed. It makes my life quality fantastic and the payoffs are enumerable. I am 59 look about 10 years younger* ( make sure you use a good sunscreen too.)
Cutting sugar.......it's a difficult habit to break.
Although when I did, I certainly noticed I had less "tired moments" during the day. In other words, my energy during the day was more steady, and I no longer had those "mid-day burnouts".
It also helped me lose weight, overall.
Same for me when I stopped drinking milk.
These are very great tips and I look forward to using these in the upcoming season.
Thanks!
I love it. very simple video, thorough and direct to the point. thank for the tips
I’ve been losing 1 to 2 pounds a week for 8 weeks now. Last week I pushed myself on my bike and I didn’t lose a single pound . My wife was furious. But I told her that I gained muscle that’s why I didn’t lose weight. But I also know that I eat too much . I’m a work on progress. Thank you for the advice.
Awesome. .Thank you for this Video. .very helpful. .Gracias from Puerto Rico
this is great!!! i admire you so much for not waiting for the rain to stop to start filming!!! i think you are great :D !
I'm a mountain biker and i really enjoy watching your show. you help lots of people transform into healthy living through cycling.
I'm a health professional in this area, and kudos for scientifically backed and pragmatic advice. I'd add to it that the key for guaranteed weight loss is to KNOW you are achieving a Calorie deficit most if not all days. The great majority of people who struggle with weight loss/mgt remain ignorant of how much of what to eat, year after year, relying on unbased guestimates. If you are unsure, go see a top sports dietitian and get a prescribed Calorie intake plan. General dietitians often are unable to do the calculations to accommodate rest and large volume days. Other priorities: manage stress from private and work life, go to sleep earlier and ensure good quality; stay more relaxed throughout the day (stress compromises endocrine function and favors cravings esp for wrong foods), train smart - overtraining (too much distress rather than adaptive stress) or too high a portion of high intensity will overstimulate appetite. This is esp true for athletes over 30 with other life commitments; keep your water going in continually throughout the day - most cyclists don't hydrate adequately in the morning before getting on teh bike. A 70kg male needs at least 500mls in addition to caffeine drinks to restore fluid balance. Eat at least 5 cups of vegetables and salad a day. The latest science says at least 7 and better if 9. This is where the majority of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory micronutrients are. 2 cups of fruit are also recommended. Keep your red meat intake
Thanks for the comment Stef Ask - great stuff.
guys true story in my country morocco i used go ride to school , college every morning 30 min ride nd back . i lost 20 pounds in one month .
My first century ride was with a friend of mine, both of us very new to cycling. We each brought 1 small granola bar to eat at the halfway point...needless to say, we both bonked hard with about 20km to get home. The longest 20km's of my life...hardly could stay upright and felt like falling asleep
weve all been there, i planned a 60 mile ride. felt good enough and ended up doing 103. needless to say i stopped at a lot of gas stations for bananas!
Modern Plays Games Bananas, life saver
Thanks for the tips, as a young rider I'm trying hard to train my muscles and was previously just using energy drinks.
Even though I weight the same as contador, I watch this video, just because I love this channel, keep doing the good work guys !
fuck dieting just ride yourself into shape
ansis maleckis how are you now😂😂😂
Icecold Water I am doing great. Thanks for asking! How are you?
ansis maleckis I mean does cycling without proper diet put you in shape😂😂😂
Icecold Water I ride 300-400 miles a week pretty much all year long. In winter if weather is totally shit I run. I eat/drink whatever I want and in whatever quantities I want and I allways stay lean. During a year my weight fluctuates 10 pounds at most. On my 6'4" (194cm) frame 10 pounds is not much. I understand that everyones metabolism is different and that for certain people this would not work but it does work for me.
ansis maleckis woah that's a great dedication dude keep it up hahahahahaha.. well for me I ride 20km a day but I cant discipline myself to diet... I just love cycling and food at the same time hahahaha
Matt, always full of great common sense advice !
Jeeeeeez you guys are good.
I just love the way you offer such sensible, reasonable advice on whatever the subject happens to be. It's not just all pro-cyclist or casual rider focused, but content that could be relevant to anyone.
On top of that, you present it so simply and engagingly.
And finally, given the presenters' backgrounds it has added weight, because they have had to live by what they say, or have developed their ideas through their own experiences.
Huge fan.
thanxx its working for me within no time. ill surely subscribe
"If you adhere to even some of these principles, you'll be well on your way to losing weight."
Simple and sensible. Just like Matt.
Thank you for this! Hope to one day own that Specialized!
great channel and, hope the weekend is dry for my ride
I just started riding bicycle to work for like 2 months, I don't feel any weight loss yet but I noticed that I get less stressed at work. Suddenly I started working smart rather than working hard. Hopefully I can follow these tips and finally start losing weight 'coz my problem is I can't stop eating after I got home from work.
the video was super nice, thanks for the effort! I'll definitely start applying at least one or two of your advices :) cheers!
Thanks guys really helped as my new year's resolution is to actually lose weight and this is realy help me
The face expression at 3:40 is priceless. Great video :)
Very informative really like this video. I'd swap energy bars for Dates but that's personel preference.
Honemade flapjacks are a great idea, this recipe is quite good minimalistbaker.com/healthy-5-ingredient-granola-bars/
Maciej Piekarski Thank's 4 the link :-)
Dates are immense - us Muslims have them to start and also end fasts during Ramadan.
Lost a ton of weight mainly by cycling and watching my caloric intake. I only have a couple one rule that I'm not flexible on:
1. No liquid calories.
Also, I'm not too fussed about performance in my workouts just yet. Ideally you'll find a routine that works for you and ignore all the "cardio is bad for weightloss" etc. bs out there. Any workout is better than none at all and you're much more likely to stick to a routine if you enjoy what you're doing.
Love the location of where Matt is riding. It sure isn't my town, when riding is a hazardous to you life.
All very good tips and very easy to follow. Thanks
Awesome work. Thanks for sharing!
excellent video - as a former pro myself this is spot on...
Great information and really well presented. And I am relieved to learn that the Mighty Wiggo and my humble self have something in common - vodka and tonic.
Amazing advice thank you.
Great episode. Thank you
Great video, I was glad to see I already was doing a few of the tips. My question is, how soon after waking up would you need to go riding for maximum efficacy, what's the window?
This is so good! thank you!
Great advice video from GCN, yet again ;)
Enjoying the channel so far. Any chance you can reference some of the "studies" you referred to about front-loading intake in the morning and reducing it in the evening for weight loss?
Great film (as usual), but one thing i'd mention is to try at least once your race-day nutrition (bars and gels) whilst training, and avoid trying new foods during the race itself which might upset your stomach
awwww...such a sad face at 3:40...LOL
svaka čast najbolji mogući savjeti
One of the best gcn videos I've seen
Good information. Thank you for that buddy.
I must admit that the first tip works a treat for me, cheers
I'm sorry if i go out of content, but you house is so sweet !
P.s. Thanks for your advises, they gonna help me out.
thanks found this video very helpful, I dont need to loose weight but this video did highlight some things i do wrong like not eating a good enough breakfast and over eating after the cycle.
Really good video! keep coming please.
Since lockdown is over I've decided to ride 1 hour a day from now on...... hopefully it goes well🤞
So about 10 miles or 16km a day
How’d it go
How's it going on or is it? 😂
How did it gov?
"stick to your plan" Great idea - but I'd plan on closing the front door when I leave for a ride! Great vid btw
I cut out sugar from coffee and replaced it with healthier honey. I also use unsweetened almond milk as well.
your town looks gorgeous. thanks!
Hello. I really love your channel. It's a great information for me who's a beginner in this. I wanted to ask if you have meal plans?
Really useful, thanks GCN! :)
This was a great video with some sensible tips on controlling your weight. Without even knowing it I do 2 of the tips. Although I'm not looking to lose weight just not gain much.
Much appreciated!
Great tips as always!
Excellent video. Thanks
Very nice video, i will try some of this tips!
Where was the first part of this video filmed? Looks lovely!
very well done video with awesome information :)
Wow - I love this! Weight loss green store tea seems to really be helping - I have been using for a few days now. I can already tell my pants feel larger. I have incorporated it into my plan. I just have to remember to take it 30 - 60 minutes before I eat - that's always the trick! I set a timer on my computer to give me a reminder - highly recommend!
+Behlul Zaar I have discovered this product's innate capability to reduce weight while increasing its users vigor and stamina. I would not want anything more than this.
+Nousred Hatimi This product has done miracles for me when it came down the line - literally, down the line. I lost a couple of inches and gave me hope in reducing my overall weight more.
+Behlul Zaar I find that this product is a bit of a scam-fad. Doesn't really work. Just my opinion
I started slimming world in January lost 4 stone in 8 month ..i hv just completed my 3rd triathlon at 56 year old .
I hv a hybrid bike had it years now :)
I've just bought myself a road bike for 1st time ever boardman carbon road bike.. absolutely love it .. but I know 4 stone ago I wud of bust the tyres lol...
Love your tips .. just fin work sat pm seen this video and now am off out on my road bike :))))
More of this
Best regards from Sweden
Another great video thanks
Fantastic tips! Perfect t for all athletes regardless of sport!
Thank you for an interestig video! Are there other benefits to do a pre-breakfast training in comparison to the same length (let's say half an hour) training in the evening or other time of the day? I am not interested in dropping weight, but if there are other benefits I would consider incorporating pre-breakfast training in my routine.
I don't need to lose weight, but this was great to watch. I'll even try to follow some of these more often. I'm 6' at 142lbs
Thank you!
It is very informative! I have already lost over 15kg but yet to hit my optimal spot yet and this video has helped me with the information i needed. Thanks guys!
Glad to hear it perwiratempur
When CZcams recommended this video to me, I totally thought it's a new one and was glad to see Matt back. After realizing it's from 2014, I feel heartbroken.
why? what happened to Matt?
@@skrowrepap1119 He left GCN in 2018.
very cool bike sir, one day ill be able to afford a nice roadbike like yours, thanks for the tips
Yea, my best advice is also to work out before having breakfast. You might feel sluggish and tired but I can assure you that you have way more energy than you think you have. Once you get going you can feel that you have energy. Don't exercise too hard though, and keep yourself at around 120-130 bpm. I also started off by drinking a bit of coffee and water, never forget to drink water.
i will start trying your tips / thanks for the video mate =))
Best GCN video of all time
very helpful and informative video
Great video, short and simple:) Electrolite drink you can make from water and salt:-)
For the last one there is a german saying: " Morgens wie ein König, mittags wie ein Bürger und abends wie ein Bettler"
Or: "In the morning like a king, at noon like a citizen and in the evening like a beggar"
I found it to be kinda true, especially in the evening my gravings for food were so fking strong.
i could die if i don't say that this is one of your best videos. Even though i almost know all the advices you mentioned give the video this kind of serious topic attitude make it even better. all the advices are right and anyone who wants to lose weight should take this video at least as a start if your pretend to use cycling as your exercise. i have lost 30kg doing most of the things that are explained on the video.
Also good idea to keep track of blood glucose
I have a ton of tests on my channel.
Great, after watching that I'm flippin' ravenous!
Only bonked on a ride once and it was due to extending it by more than double just because it was a nice evening and I'd gone exploring, neglecting the fact I'd barely taken enough food for half the distance. After bordering on throwing up and keeling over for the whole ride home I finally got there, fell on the living room floor and got spoon fed Ben&Jerry's by my gf till I could function again. Not a mistake you make twice, for sure!
Great video.
I'm glad these tips actually are good.
i ve done the same stuff but execpt biking i was just walking, walking for 3-4 hours so i lost 13kilos in 2 month but i still feel that my body is out of shape that's why i am bying a bike today, i am gonna get the btwin rocrider, i know it's a entry level bike but i am just a beginner and i may fall in love with cycling or hated so better not waste lot of money on my first bike and thank you GCN
Thanks!
