You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes braised shrimp with vegetables but it is obtainable. The key is to not eat braised shrimp with vegetables or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – without going crazy of course.

I have been using this method for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
