excellent shrimp creole
March 18th, 2009
You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes excellent shrimp creole but it is possible. It is pivotal to not eat excellent shrimp creole or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.
For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please - without going overboard of course.
I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.
I also believe it helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
