crab in ginger sauce
November 30th, 2009
You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes crab in ginger sauce but it is feasible. The key is to not eat crab in ginger sauce or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.
As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please - without going overboard of course.
I have been using this method for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.
I also find it helps to have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
