I completely eliminated refined sugars, white flour, and white rice from my diet and lost 15 lbs in a couple months. I didn't think I even had that much weight to lose... I'm 6'7" 170 lbs

I'm losing a LOT of weight from riding and not watching my food intake. In fact, I'm eating more that I did before I was riding every day, because I'm putting on muscle. I'm putting on muscle and losing weight--That means I'm burning much more fat than even the flab-o-meter registers when I step on it.
You know what? I'm lazy. I don't like to exercise. But riding forces me to work out. I have to spin up that 200' hill every day to get to my job. When I ride 20 miles from home over hilly western PA terrain, and then get tired and turn around, well, I still have to ride 20 miles back. That's the key. I can't just say, "ok, that's it, I've had enough." No, I have to push my limits. I'm forced to. That's the secret to my bicycle weight loss.

Exactly. I sometimes look out the window and say "Oh do I wanna hit the road right now?". Then gear up, I bang out 50kms, get home and realise:
The only bike ride I'll ever regret or not enjoy is the one I don't make it home from.

Not a picture of my actual lunch. I usually have aged cheddar and a soft cheese like brie or sheep's milk cheese (from a local farm). Apples from the tree in our yard and/or some other fruit in season. Bread is usually homemade.
Anyway, cheese has protein. Apples are a source of fiber. Grains from bread.

Interesting how everyone around me who states “you look too thin” or “you don’t need to lose any more weight” or the classic “you look unhealthy” are folks who don’t ride...hell…don’t do anything that requires effort. I’ve given up saying anything as it always seems I end up defending or justifying my activities and healthful regime. At least here folks who are stumbling through this multipage pre 4th reminder to eat less during firecracker weekend ultimately know what they’ve got to do.

Hey I'm new to the west coast and don't know that "not on the menu" menu at IN N OUT. Any idea where I can find it?
