You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes pinakbet but it can happen. The key is to not eat pinakbet or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also think it is helpful if you have some 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 attain your goals.
