Start a steady program of regular cycling
Looking for long-term weight loss that will improve your cycling performance? Then trash the crash diets. Sure, some weight (mostly water and lean body mass) may come off quickly, but it usually returns just as fast.
To take off fat--and keep it off--you must make two permanent (and almost painless) lifestyle commitments.
The first is easy: exercise.
Make time to ride. Don't let yourself go more than 2 days without it. Studies show that you can stay trim with as little as 3 hours of exercise per week.
The second commitment is harder:
Cut calories. The best way isn't eating less, but reducing fat intake. In the average American diet, nearly 40 percent of all calories come from fat. Trim this to 20 to 30 percent, and you're almost guaranteed to lose weight.
Remember, fat is twice as calorie-dense as protein or carbohydrate. So as long as your foods aren't fatty, you can eat plenty and still keep your calorie intake relatively low. For example, in a study at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, subjects were put on either a 40 percent or 15 percent fat diet and allowed to eat all they wanted. Both groups ate similar amounts, but those in the 15-percent group averaged 700 fewer daily calories.

1. Cut down on processed food will help greatly in cutting down fats.
2. Don't go to the gym to add muscles.
3. Low intensity, long duration of cycling burn fat best.
4. Start with 1/2 hour bike ride every day will burn 5 kilogram of fat over a year. As you gain more stamina go for at least an hour ride daily. See how much fat you will loose in six months.
5. Be willing to change your diet and habits of eating.
6. Carbohydrate is definitely a better cycling fuel than protein or fat. The more energy you have for longer duration in cycling the more fats you loose.
Many heavy people are negative to cycling. Even though some of them took up cycling in the hope of cutting body fats they are still disappointed after a couple of months. The main reason is that they are not disciplined enough to control their eating habits and complain that they don't have energy to cycle in a steady space or for longer duration.
Anything you want to achieve you must be prepared to sacrifice and be very disciplined and committed with the main focus of getting what you want.
