mexican green rice

July 1st, 2009

You may not believe you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes mexican green rice but it is possible. The key is to not eat mexican green rice or other high calorie potatoes, rice, noodles, starch every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also find it helps to have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
