Eating smart over the holidays
A recent post over at PezCycling News discusses Smart Eating for the Holidays and offers strategies for combatting weight gain during the Food Season. The entry focuses less on turning people into fickle, holiday food avoiding drones and more on limiting the effects of downtime on a cyclist’s overall fitness.
Ways to eat smart over the holidays
- Keep a dietary log
- Limit the alcohol intake
- Eat before the party
- Emphasize quality and intensity during training over quantity
- Visit a health care professional for a check up
Of course, the chances of me actually following those points are between, well, slim and none, but I know that there are a bunch of you out there who will take the advice to heart.
I was back on a bike yesterday for the first time in a couple of months (injury). I felt pretty good, even though I just rolled for a couple of kilometers.

Our holidays are almost over and I’ve managed to avoid pretty much every recommendation on the list. I think that I’ve consumed more sugar in the past week than I took in for the rest of 2005!
Mmm, teeth coated with gritty sugar goodness.
