marinated shrimp salad

March 8th, 2009

You possibly will not believe you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes marinated shrimp salad but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat marinated shrimp salad or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

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