cheese and rice casserole
November 26th, 2008
You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes cheese and rice casserole but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat cheese and rice casserole or other high calorie misc every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want - within reason of course.
I have been using this method for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet aids. I have just been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.
I also find it makes things easier if you have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
