ground beef and potato picadillo
December 2nd, 2008
You might not accept that you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes ground beef and potato picadillo but it can happen. The key is to not eat ground beef and potato picadillo or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.
As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat anything - without going overboard of course.
I have been eating like this for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.
I also find it helps to have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
