puerto rican cheese fritters

May 3rd, 2009

You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes puerto rican cheese fritters but it is feasible. The key is to not eat puerto rican cheese fritters or other high calorie misc every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please - without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet food. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also find it helps to have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
