indian butter chicken
September 15th, 2009
You may not think you could lose weight while on a diet which includes indian butter chicken but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat indian butter chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.
For instance, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat anything - without going crazy of course.
I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.
I also think it helps to have a little support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
