This is similar to my experience. I ride so I can eat...and I don't lose weight. I'm riding about 8-9 hours per week (100+ hilly miles) right now, and I am hungry! Even though I basically eat whatever I want, my weight stays pretty steady. Unfortunately, in the winter, my cycling appetite seems to stick around. This is why I weighed 153 my first cycling season, 159 my second cycling season, and 168 this cycling season. Argh. This winter I think I will sit on the couch, as suggested by the article, and eat less.

I read the whole article I thought they made a few good points. But in general, I found the article irritating and borderline ridiculous. I didn't like the tone of it...not all of us consider exercise torture! I'm not sure who they're going to help by downplaying exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle.
