spanish garlic soup

September 23rd, 2009

You possibly will not believe you could lose weight while on a diet which includes spanish garlic soup but it is feasible. The key is to not eat spanish garlic soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within reason of course.

I have been eating like this for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet food. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
