poppy seed cake

August 23rd, 2009

You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes poppy seed cake but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat poppy seed cake or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, 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 1800 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
