shrimp stew

November 1st, 2008

You possibly will not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet which includes shrimp stew but it is possible. The key is to not eat shrimp stew or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

I have been using this method for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
