You might not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet which includes baked eggs with ham, sausage and peas but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat baked eggs with ham, sausage and peas or other high calorie breakfast every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last few weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

On my one day off per week, I tend to eat portuguese food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating portuguese meals but am very glad to see it is possible. If you want to try some portuguese food, I advise you make baked eggs with ham, sausage and peas which is one of my best loved portuguese recipes.
