14 months' work at the gym and the dinner table

I just ordered the Wahoo Kickr Rollr, which is a device designed to allow you to ride your bike indoors
I really want to train all winter. It bores me to tears to ride indoors, but I think I could tolerate some HIIT which is what I need to get my speed to the next level.

Cool, I have the Wahoo Kickr Core 2.

Dropped 9 pounds in October. Probably my best month ever. Started counting calories for the first time, which probably helps a lot. High protein, low calorie diet, plus resistance training, and all your losses will be fat.

Cool. What calorie limit are you aiming for?
I count backwards from maintenance rather than up from 0, and maintenance varies with the amount of walking and other exercise I do on a given day. I try to have a 1000 calorie deficit per day on average, which is what 9 pounds @ 3500 calories/pound for 30 days averages out to. So the calorie/exercise tracker I'm using seems pretty accurate.

This thread inspired me to switch over to a low-carb diet.
I lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks - only another 14 to go.
And then it will be Christmas.....
I was only joking

It was actually somewhat easier than I expected. The hardest part was avoiding the typical late afternoon feeding frenzy I engage in when I get home from work, and instead slowly eat a fish-and-vegetable dinner.

I casually listened to this while working, but what I took away was:
- protein: 1.5x (up to 3x if weight training) grams per kg of ideal body weight (so 185 pounds = 120g of protein at the 1.5 level if not working out)
- fish/omega 3
- veggies
- fluids
Prefer whole foods for protein (and veggies of course) as it helps long-term eating habits. Inherent calories that come with whole foods are ok.
Other carbs, fats, etc... not essential.
To keep muscle, low-volume high-intensity only 2-3x a week. Longer workouts and cardio, get worse results.
