fried fish in pungent sauce

April 21st, 2009

You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes fried fish in pungent sauce but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat fried fish in pungent sauce or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard 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 changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet aids. I have just been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also feel it helps to have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.
