You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes leprechaun cookies ‘n’ mint cake but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat leprechaun cookies ‘n’ mint cake or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories a day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Review
I made the Leprechaun Cookies ‘n’ Mint cake for our St. Patty’s day party at work and oh my it was delicious. Everyone loved it. I had to go buy more candy bars to make another one, I bought them because I was not sure if I would ever find them again. ~ Pat Thelen, Michigan

You can alter the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos easily. It did work for me and could aid you to lose weight as well.
