You possibly will not believe you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes greek lentil soup (soupa fakez) but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat greek lentil soup (soupa fakez) or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

On my one free day per week, I usually like to eat greek food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating greek meals but am very glad to see it is possible. If you feel like trying some greek food, I suggest you make greek lentil soup (soupa fakez) which is one of my best loved greek recipes.

Greek Lentil Soup (Soupa Fakez)

3 cups uncooked lentils
12 to 15 cups hot water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 to 5 cloves garlic
1 onion, minced
2 stalks celery
2 medium carrots, minced
1 sprig rosemary
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, peeled and strained or
    1 (30 ounce) can tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vinegar (optional)

Soak the lentils overnight in cold water. Rinse and place in a large pot with plenty of water. Bring to a boil. Drain off this water and replace it with the 12 to 15 cups hot water. Add the remaining ingredients except the tomatoes and salt and pepper. Simmer for 45 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook for about 20 minutes longer (until the lentils are soft). Season

Serve hot.

You can change the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It did work for me and could help you to lose weight also.
