i have cut my complex carbs and simple as well....lowered my overall caloric intake to that of a small child at times, and have been riding fixed gear...which i must add makes 30 - 40 mile trainning rides feel like a century...
i have lost several inches around my waist, gained on my back & chest and arms are now filling up the sleeves again, and my legs seem to be growing each and everyday, and the fat is simply beginning to melt away....
my problem......
i have gained 15 lbs
my question, i can remember when i used to lift weights that my body made changes when using a 20 rep or to failure squat routine, and am wondering is the same going on with my body with the isolation that fixed gear riding provides to the legs, something i did not notice while i was still riding my geared roadbike..
is this possible.....
