There is no right way to go cycling to lose weight because the weight reduction results from the implementation of a diet, a meal plan. Exercise is an excellent complement, but complement to the end. If you perform physical activity, and then you eat more than you need, you’ll keep getting bigger, or at best, keeping your weight.
Therefore, the correct way is first to diet and supplement it with exercise. Once you’ve started eating program, you can add calories burned riding on the bike.
