dal

July 17th, 2009

You may not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes dal but it is feasible. The key is to not eat dal or other high calorie misc every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

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