pennsylvania dutch brownies

January 12th, 2009

You might not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes pennsylvania dutch brownies but it can happen. It is fundamental to not eat pennsylvania dutch brownies or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet food. I have just been careful 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 on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
