You might not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes shrimp tostadas (tostadas de camaron) but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat shrimp tostadas (tostadas de camaron) or other high calorie tacos, tostado, tortilla every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills 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 think it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
