Just remember that pushing watts higher means burning more calories per ride (generally). And I’m not saying don’t focus on diet, because obviously that’s the single most important thing you can do, but if you are getting your Watts higher it will be easier to burn more KJ’s even in recovery and endurance rides. And I’m not also not advocating just exercising more to lose weight, because that’s not a healthy mindset. I am saying that if you focus a lot on improving your fitness, it will be easier to lose weight when and where you want as long as your diet is on point. So don’t look at it as in either or which to focus on, but rather look at it as how do you want to improve performance. And assuming you find a great diet, when Watts rise weight drops more easily.
