frijoles charros

January 5th, 2009

You may not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes frijoles charros but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat frijoles charros or other high calorie beans 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 for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it helps to have professional support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
