spiced chicken
April 30th, 2009
You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes spiced chicken but it is feasible. The key is to not eat spiced chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.
As an example, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories each day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like - without going overboard of course.
I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.
I also feel it helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
