irish cheddar potato gratin

September 30th, 2009

You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes irish cheddar potato gratin but it is possible. It is pivotal to not eat irish cheddar potato gratin or other high calorie potatoes, noodles, starches every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want - within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have just been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
