Of course, you have to keep in mind that simply eating low fat meals are not going to be enough if you want to really lose a lot of weight, you will have to do some form of training and cycling is ideal if you have problems with your knees and jogging will be a problem.

Training outside is not always possible, even in summer. So, having a bicycle trainer to put your bike on when you cannot train oustide is a good idea. Depending on your needs there are two I can recommend, the one is the Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicycle Trainer and the other is the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine Indoor Trainer. The Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicycle Trainer uses magnetic resistance while the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine Indoor Trainer uses fluid resistance and this makes the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine Indoor Trainer quieter.

Which one you choose depend on where you want to use it and how much you want to spend.

So, combine your low fat eating, using this low fat recipe as one of the dishes, with some training and you will fell a lot better in no time.
