santa fe stew with chipotle cream

September 10th, 2008

You might not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes santa fe stew with chipotle cream but it is obtainable. The key is to not eat santa fe stew with chipotle cream or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
