You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes pot of beans but it is possible. The key is to not eat pot of beans or other high calorie beans every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

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

I also believe it helps to have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
