german plum cake

June 6th, 2009

You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes german plum cake but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat german plum cake or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
