It seems to me that the only way to lose weight is to stop eating.

Just say No!

All this cycling malarkey makes me hungry and thirsty. The Times told me that obesity will cause 23000 cancers / 6.5 % of all UK cancers, second only to tobacco.

Don't eat tobacco.

The pedant in me objects to the "Causes", AFAIK, no one has any causal evidence, its just there is a correlation. In the BBC's own article, when they actually spoke to a scientist

"But he said the idea that obesity itself or eating too little fibre "causes" cancer was "somewhat simplistic" and still needed to be explored further."

Not that I am suggesting there is anything good about being overweight, but we could at least try and be accurate.

To paraphrase Mr. Micawber;

"Annual excercise twenty pounds, annual food consumption nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. Annual exercise twenty pounds, annual food consumption twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."

Gotta burn more to eat more!

Yeah but if you stop eating you will lose weight and soon you won't be ill anymore and then... childish vim and vigour abounds as I don't realise I might be missing something quite important.

Well Andrew, you could always stop moaning and do something about it...

Sussed it. Eat loads, drink loads. Enjoy loadsa rides.

Took Scobs and me out on a mid week local loopy this week,felt good, felt fast, then I realised there was a mahoosive tail wind. Boy did I suffer on the way back! Meh!

Venturing out to that there Lundun tomorrow, just like olden days

I'm not moaning Ray, like your paraphrasing of Dickens I approach this area with humour. And just what is the 'it' to which you refer? Then perhaps I could demonstrate what I'm actually doing about 'it'. Anecdotally I have found that eating less means weight loss and exercise helps with feeling better, better health if done properly ( I am 64 and do not at all feel like I did when I was 25 nor even 45, improved cardio- vascular performance which in turn helps my attitude to life and food, drink, fekking and gurls, getting up in the morning and quality of sleep at night.

In the same way Nick points to the obvious ( that the media usually sacrifices to give us a more scandalous and terrifying story) - that the causes of cancer are often multi factorial i.e. all that goes to make up 'lifestyle', genetic and environmental factors etc. Weight loss and fitness is similarly more complicated than asininely being told to 'stop moaning and do something about it'. When, after all, did that work!?

Andrew, clearly my attempt at humour failed; I was making a light-hearted allusion to "...if you stop eating you will lose weight and soon you won't be ill anymore and then... ", nothing more. Sorry

You clearly touched on a raw nerve. I'll think on it. Apologies from me too.

Lovely breeze-free day but a bit nippy so I did a London loopy today. Got a front puncture which took a while to repair and curtailed the planned 50 miler. Nice to be out on Scobs again.
