You may not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes hot and sweet shanghai chicken but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat hot and sweet shanghai chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have professional support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
