You might not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes crab noodle soup but it can happen. It is pivotal to not eat crab noodle soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

On my one day off per week, I tend to eat vietnamese food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating vietnamese meals but am very glad to see it does work. If you feel like trying some vietnamese food, I propose you make crab noodle soup which is one of my best loved vietnamese recipes.

Crab Noodle Soup (Vietnam)

In Vietnam and in many Vietnamese restaurants, this soup is served with the crab ground almost to a powder or even in patties. Serves 4 as a complete meal.

8 shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 cups flaked crabmeat
6 tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 pound rice vermicelli, cooked
1/2 head lettuce, finely shredded (Romaine
    is preferable to iceberg)
1 cup mung bean sprouts
2 limes, quartered

Heat a large heavy pan over medium-high heat. Saut? the shallots in the hot oil until soft. Add the crabmeat, tomatoes, fish sauce, sugar and salt. Pour in 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 30 minutes.

To serve, divide the vermicelli among 4 large individual bowls. Ladle the soup over the noodles, and top each serving with a handful of lettuce and bean sprouts and squeezes of lime juice.

You can vary the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It was successful for me and could help you to lose weight as well.
