You might not believe you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes irish lamb stew but it is feasible. The key is to not eat irish lamb stew or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also believe it helps to have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
