You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes chinese pot stickers but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat chinese pot stickers or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating this way for the last few weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have only been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
