You might not believe you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes green chile soup but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat green chile soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
