You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes old fashioned greek shortbread but it is obtainable. The key is to not eat old fashioned greek shortbread or other high calorie bread every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then one day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet aids. I have just been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also find it is helpful if you have some support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
