I hear ya, Zen... a pound is a pound, a kilo is a kilo...

In my first year of cycling I lost no weight at all... but I did drop two dress sizes!!!

BC2... keep it up, before long the cycling becomes more important than the body/health changes.

However, you do ask about food. Always remember that food is fuel, and if you don't top up, just like a car without petrol, you will stop.

Just be sensible... reduce fats and sugars (pastry, cookies, sweet spreads, cakes etc)

Still enjoy icecream (often icecream has only a marginally higher content of fat and sugar than milk!), replace colby cheese and soft cheeses with something like Edam and eat dark chocolate instead of dairy/light brown.

Eat a good variety of foods and just watch the types of sauces you add to pasta or toppings to potato... instead of cream and butter, use yoghurt...

The most significant thing for me in managing fuel for my body is to only eat when I am hungry - easy to say/write... actually quite difficult to do.
