You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes ribs in orange and chile sauce (costillitas en naranja) but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat ribs in orange and chile sauce (costillitas en naranja) or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
