skillet shrimp creole

November 9th, 2008

You might not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes skillet shrimp creole but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat skillet shrimp creole or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this 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 aids. I have just been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
