moghlai

September 1st, 2009

You may not believe you could lose weight while on a diet which includes moghlai but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat moghlai or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have just been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also find it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
