santa fe split pea soup

May 7th, 2009

You might not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes santa fe split pea soup but it is feasible. It is pivotal to not eat santa fe split pea soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have just been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also find it helps to have professional support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
