There is a very simple equation that acts as a rule of thumb, when dieting: Calories out must be greater than calories in. If you have a weakness for choccy bars and other such delights, get some exercise.

As an example, a cyclist in the Tour de France will consume roughly 7,000 calories per day for three weeks of racing, and still maybe lose 5 kilos bodyweight.

Put a plateful of food in front of me and I'm like a slutch-pump hoovering it up, but I'll burn the calories off because I lead an active lifestyle.
