You might not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes chicken and pork afritada but it can happen. It is fundamental to not eat chicken and pork afritada or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – 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 plan or taken any supplements or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
