eggplant spread

July 11th, 2009

You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes eggplant spread but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat eggplant spread or other high calorie appetizer every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – within reason of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have professional support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
