meringue-topped apples

February 5th, 2009

You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes meringue-topped apples but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat meringue-topped apples or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also think it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.
