caponata

October 4th, 2009

You possibly will not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes caponata but it is obtainable. It is fundamental to not eat caponata or other high calorie caponata every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within reason of course.

I have been using this method for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it is helpful if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
