moroccan tomato soup

June 15th, 2009

You may not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes moroccan tomato soup but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat moroccan tomato soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
