Cycling Weight Loss Plan: How to Lose Kilos Without Losing Power

Cycling Weight Loss Plan: How to Lose Kilos Without Losing Power

Newsletter (#135)

Ever tried to lose weight while cycling… only to feel tired, hungry, and slower on the bike?

Yep, been there too.

The truth is, most cycling plans give you workouts, but they completely ignore the thing that really shifts your body composition: personalised nutrition that works with your training, not against it.

That’s why, when I designed The Cycle Lean Project (starting September 15), I made nutrition just as important as the bike sessions.

Because if you want to drop weight and keep (or even boost) your power, you need both pieces working together.

In this issue, I’m breaking down exactly how we make that happen inside the program—so you can stop guessing, start fuelling right, and watch the kilos drop without losing strength.


1. Personalised Nutrition Plan

Every member gets their own nutrition targets—set and monitored by me—so you’re losing weight at a sensible rate while still fuelling your training.

We’ll review these targets each week in your personalised check-in, adjusting them if needed to make sure:

  • You’re recovering well after rides
  • You’ve got the energy to hit your sessions
  • You’re still seeing that steady, sustainable drop on the scales

You’ll also get access to our Fuelling Calculator—an intelligent carb-coding system that works out exactly how many carbs you need before and during your rides. It takes into account:

  • Your weight
  • The intensity of your ride
  • The duration of your session

And it doesn’t stop there—it’ll also tell you how much protein to get in after you ride, so you recover faster and adapt better.

This isn’t guesswork. It’s a data-driven fuelling strategy designed around your unique body, training load, and goals.


2. Eat to Ride Guide

Think of this as your cyclist’s food bible.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • The everyday foods that help you ride stronger and lose weight
  • How to time your meals so you’ve always got the right fuel in the tank
  • The common “healthy” mistakes that actually slow down fat loss

It’s simple, practical, and designed for busy people who want results without spending hours in the kitchen.


3. Sports Nutrition Masterclass

Ever wondered why some cyclists can fuel smart, drop weight, and still smash it on climbs… while others just end up tired and cranky?

The difference is knowing how to fuel.

In this deep-dive masterclass, I’ll walk you through:

  • How to balance carbs, protein, and fat for weight loss and performance
  • Pre-ride fuelling strategies to avoid the dreaded bonk
  • Recovery nutrition that actually speeds up adaptation
  • How to manage big rides without overeating afterwards

You’ll walk away confident in exactly what to eat, when to eat it, and why it matters—no more second-guessing.


Why This Works

Cycling alone will burn calories, but if you want real, lasting weight loss without wrecking your performance, you need a complete system:

✅ Training sessions with purpose
✅ Personalised, adaptive nutrition targets
✅ Tools to fuel smarter—not just “eat less”
✅ Weekly accountability so you stay on track

That’s the Cycle Lean Method. And it works because we don’t separate training from nutrition—they feed into each other.


Wrapping it up:

If you’re a cyclist who:

  • Wants to lose weight without starving yourself
  • Wants to keep (or increase) power while getting leaner
  • Wants a clear, structured plan that actually fits into real life

…then September 15 is your start line.
