You might not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes spicy okra and turnip greens but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat spicy okra and turnip greens or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime 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 want one day per week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
