  • Sack off the fasted ss rides. Just do SS rides well fuelled.

    IF you want to fast, for fat utilisation purposes, do it during the long rides. But again, I'd not bother. Just eat and train hard.

    If you want to lose weight, stop eating dinner and cut out all wheat.

  • Are you advising that because fasted SS rides don't work?

    I'm already drinking less, eating less shit, but given that I'm planning on doing this for another 10/11 months, making unsustainable dietary changes seems unrealistic, whereas fasted SS turbo sessions are achievable and (in theory) effective.

  • What are you trying to gain from doing a SS ride fasted?

    If the SS turbo rides are 1h, then really they're not fasted, as your body has enough fuel to run for 1h at near max pace. So you're doing them fuelled. Not fueling during them means that when you finish the ride, you'll be empty. So you either eat then or not. You're not going to be causing improved training adaptions. You're not going to be losing weight, becasue you'll be eating after.

    If you want to lose weight, cut meal portions when you don't need the energy. Not when you do.
