Weight cycling is the repeated loss and regain of body weight. When weight cycling is the result of dieting, it is often called yo-yo dieting. A weight cycle can range from small weight losses and gains (5-10 lbs. per cycle) to large changes in weight (50 lbs. or more per cycle).
(You can use widely available body fat scales). For cyclists, a body composition monitor is much better than BMI charts. Body fat numbers to compare yourself against are 15â18% for the average male, 8â10% for a well-trained rider and 4% for an elite cyclist.
