drunken noodles

January 13th, 2010

You might not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes drunken noodles but it is possible. It is pivotal to not eat drunken noodles or other high calorie rice, noodles, dumplings every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

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

I also believe it helps to have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
