carne en adobo

September 6th, 2009

You might not believe you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes carne en adobo but it is achievable. The key is to not eat carne en adobo or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also believe it is helpful if you have a little support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
