papaya pina colada

July 14th, 2008

You may not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes papaya pina colada but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat papaya pina colada or other high calorie beverages every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like - within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.
