You possibly will not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes halva but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat halva or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have just been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have some support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
