You possibly will not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes linzer schnitten but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat linzer schnitten or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want – within reason of course.

I have been using this method for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also find it is helpful if you have some support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
