You may not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes cajun gumbo but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat cajun gumbo or other high calorie soups, gumbos, chili every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have only been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also believe it helps to have professional support when trying to lose weight 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.
