chicken and vegetable stew

October 10th, 2008

You may not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes chicken and vegetable stew but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat chicken and vegetable stew or other high calorie meat dishes every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 2000 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been using this method for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also think it is helpful if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
