You may not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes chicken fajitas with cowpoke barbecue sauce but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat chicken fajitas with cowpoke barbecue sauce or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please - within reason of course.
I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.
I also think it helps to have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.
