Biking is a great option to improve your overall health - both mentally and physically. We also know that improving your fitness level can make you faster, increase your stamina and make you more agile on your bike.

What I've learned over the years though is that even though you are active, you cannot out train a bad eating plan which I've been guilty of with my addiction to snacking, sugar, salt, and ultra high processed foods.

Everyone has a different turning point. For some people it is out of necessity due to a traumatic health event or injury. For others it is recognizing that they are uncomfortable in their bodies.

For my wife Alise, it was not wanting to spend a lifetime of being uncomfortable in her skin. Alise had spent most of her life battling her weight and feeling out of control with her emotional eating. She blamed “bad genes” and a lack of self-control and assumed there wasn’t an answer that didn’t involve cutting out all of her favorite foods and spending all her time in the gym.

Mother’s Day 2020 I gifted Alise her dream bike. We went on a date night ride and decided to take a few photos of her and the bike. She was shocked at the pictures. Yes, she cried a little but she made a decision that day. Enough was enough.

When her friend told her about a program that helped her get in control of her emotional eating AND didn’t cut out any of her favorite foods, Alise felt like this was the answer. Thankfully, it had been the answer for her and for so many others.
