I remember my youth, I would cycle fast daily minimum 1 hour, maximum 5+ hours on weekends. I was frustrated because i couldn't gain weight as I was too thin. My parents were frustrated because I would shovel tons of food into my mouth, and still couldn't gain weight. Now, I am getting a bit older and have to juggle time between working, and exercising, and social life. I notice I am gaining a bit weight and now am carefully watching what I eat so i don't develop pot belly. But eventually when I start cycling fast daily, then i will lose my belly, however small it is.
