Man . . . . these studies of foods and exercise . . . it just f's people up in the head, you know? They don't know what to eat, how to exercise or what to do. Meanwhile the fat-bottomed scientists pump out these studies like Doritos being sold for the Super Bowl 
Just ride your bike . . . eat normally for YOU , and nature will take its course.
If you don't what normal is . . . no one can tell you. . you gotta figure it out for yourself.
Here's a start. . . stop eating junk food

I'm all for science and learning how our bodies do what they do but all the research in the world doesn't change the simple rule of losing weight: eat less, exercise more.

+1 If you eat what you need when you're hungry, and stop short of overeating, all should be well. Those paradigms change if the body doesn't function quite right (diabetes, eating disorders, etc) but overall nothing's changed in 1000s of years. If you stick to real food (made from scratch) where possible and avoid processed food as much as possible, there shouldn't be a lot of guess work in ones diet. Hard part is finding those whole foods and un-altered starting products to work with.

I prefer the slightly different SIT protocol - it tore fat off me in a couple of weeks of beach running and I'll be using it with my new singlespeed. (In fact I designed the bike partly around what I need for the program.) The downside is that these are hard programs to follow - quality of training is the key, you have to keep pushing as you improve, and you will ache on recovery days.

And, no one wants to exercise (because you know, who needs to exercise to lose weight anyway? deep down we're all supermodels right? [insert sarcasm]).
Being thin for thin's sake isn't very attractive--but add a little muscle and you may just have something going on.
