You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes kai tom kah but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat kai tom kah or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
