First, welcome!

I don't know about the LA thingy, but if it's not condusive to exercising, maybe you can use that in the winter months, and right now concentrate on a diet that will fuel your body properly for exercise?

I've been trying to 'watch' my weight for a little while, trying to cut some excess before a trip with lots of climbing. I've been looking at every item and determining if it will help or hinder my riding. If hinder, I don't eat it. So, white flour, white rice, white potatoes, useless sugars (unless I'm actually riding when I need GU!) are all out. No desserts, snacks or foods that don't directly contribute to my good health and are nutritionally sound. It seems to be working....
