green onion latkes

May 21st, 2009

You might not think you could lose weight while on a diet which includes green onion latkes but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat green onion latkes or other high calorie misc every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

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