You might not think you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes lemon chicken but it can happen. It is pivotal to not eat lemon chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet food. I have just been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

On my one non diet day per week, I usually like to eat chinese food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating chinese meals but am very glad to see it is possible. If you want to try some chinese food, I advise you make lemon chicken which is one of my best loved chinese recipes.
