weight loss question and alcohol question

Factual Questions
1

Is cycling on an exercise bike a good exercise for someone who wants to lose weight?

I’ve come out of a period of quite heavy drinking. I’ve quit drinking and i was wondering if there are any foods that are of benefit to a presumably damaged liver?

thanks.

If an exercise bike is all you have, by all means do it.

You would burn way more calories, though, by walking on a treadmill or using a stairstepper or elliptical trainer.
