lentil pakora

October 17th, 2008

You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes lentil pakora but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat lentil pakora or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it is helpful if you have professional support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
