portuguese tomato rice

October 25th, 2009

You possibly will not accept that you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes portuguese tomato rice but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat portuguese tomato rice or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – within reason of course.

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

I also think it makes things easier if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
