You may not believe you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes athenian salad (salata athenas) but it is possible. The key is to not eat athenian salad (salata athenas) or other high calorie salads every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also believe it helps to have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
