Several years ago, I was under the misconception that because I rode a lot, I could eat a lot. When I noticed no reduction of body fat (in fact, added a bit), I did the math. One hour of riding minus one dessert = still more calories. Even Lance has to watch what he eats - and he rides 3-7hours/day!

Intra-abdominal fat can give you a belly. You don't see it, it doesn't jiggle, but it's there. It's the most deadly kind of fat because it converts to artery clogging fats more easily. As we get older, we tend to move our fat storage up there from our hips & thighs.
