You may not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes puerto rican beef stew but it is feasible. The key is to not eat puerto rican beef stew or other high calorie meat dishes every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within reason of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier 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.
