fava bean rounds
June 9th, 2008
You possibly will not accept that you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes fava bean rounds but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat fava bean rounds or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want - without going overboard of course.
I have been using this method for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.
I also feel it helps to have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
