lamb tagine with dates
March 8th, 2010
You might not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes lamb tagine with dates but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat lamb tagine with dates or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then one day, I eat anything - without going crazy of course.
I have been using this method for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.
I also find it is helpful if you have professional support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
