chicken with lychees
November 30th, 2008
You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes chicken with lychees but it can happen. The key is to not eat chicken with lychees or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.
This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like - within reason of course.
I have been eating this way for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.
I also believe it makes things easier if you have some 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 reach your goals.
