You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes minestrone but it can happen. It is fundamental to not eat minestrone or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also feel it helps to have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
