black bean and corn salsa

May 13th, 2009

You may not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes black bean and corn salsa but it can happen. It is fundamental to not eat black bean and corn salsa or other high calorie salsas every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also think it helps to have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
