You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes fruit filled chimichangas with cinnamon custard sauce but it can happen. It is fundamental to not eat fruit filled chimichangas with cinnamon custard sauce or other high calorie deserts every day but in moderation.

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

I have been using this method for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

On my one free day per week, I usually like to eat mexican food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating mexican meals but am very elated to see it can work. If you want to try some mexican food, I advise you make fruit filled chimichangas with cinnamon custard sauce which is one of my best loved mexican recipes.
