nacho casserole

January 31st, 2010

You possibly will not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet which includes nacho casserole but it can happen. The key is to not eat nacho casserole or other high calorie tacos, tostado, tortilla every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also think it helps to have a little support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
