You possibly will not believe you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes chinese almond cookies but it is feasible. The key is to not eat chinese almond cookies or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
