WEll, this one is *very* encouraging ! Come to think about it, I recall the years I was riding lots (32 to 40) I really could eat, and I kept a moderate BMI. I also agree with you that the distance riding is an appetite suppressor, it seems one can hit the threshold of longer aerobic with cycling, which must wrench the stomach.
