What is the best way to lose weight when training for an olympic triathalon?
I’ve been training for an olypic triathalon for 10 weeks by working out 6 times a week by swimming 3 times a week, jogging 3 times a week and biking 3 times a week. I’ve been on a no sugar diet, eating 1400 calories a day and eating 6 small meals a day. I have lost no weight. I think I would be able to compete better if I lost some weight and just need some assistance.

Do a dunk test to measure body fat. You might not have any fat to loose.
If you’re actually working out as hard as your post claims, eating 1400 calories a day, you should look like a skeleton.
When I was training for Criterium racing (bicycle) I was eating 4500 calories a day just to maintain my weight. Sumpin don’t jive!

I agree, 1400 calories a day on your training schedule is very low, it’s a wonder you can do it. It could be your body is going into starvation mode.
Also, keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat, so you should probably look more closely at bodyfat percentage more than scale weight.
Good luck on your triathlon!

Definately it has to be Herbalife!! Olympic committee approved Sports Nutrition and Weightloss Programmes. You must have seen the logo at the last 2 triathlons in Blenheim and London. They are the official Nutrition Sponsors!!
