You possibly will not believe you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes gila chicken soup but it is possible. The key is to not eat gila chicken soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like – within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also believe it helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Gila Chicken Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces skinned and boned chicken
    breast halves, 1/2-inch chunks
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced 
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Heat oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until opaque. Stir in onion, garlic, cumin, salt, chili powder and red pepper.
