Less cakes/pies etc.
Are you doing sweetspot base or traditional base?
I think I would find it much harder to eat less on sweetspot due to having to eat on the turbo due to session intensity, whereas you can probably do 1-1.5h at zone 2 fasted.
I’ve just lost 7kg in 2 months doing 8 weeks of largely sweetspot/vo2 intervals in 1h workouts 6 times a week.
The weight change has been mostly diet related, 500kcal deficit on Myfitnespal while largely maintaining intermittent fasting between 8pm-12pm (16h)
Workouts in the morning while fasted, which was pretty brutal.

Sounds a lot like @cjr’s approach to (successful) weight loss. 6 times a week though!? I’ve been struggling with 1:15 three times a week. I am at the pointy end of sustained power build though so probably the hardest workouts I’ll be doing all year. 1000kcal workouts straight out of bed are pretty brutal 😑

Just into penultimate week of base phase 2 mid volume. Definitely feeling fitter and appear to have lost fat but my weight is now creeping up.
Really don’t need to gain weight, what is likely to be the best way to manage this? Any particular program?
