steamed rice

July 13th, 2009

You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes steamed rice but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat steamed rice or other high calorie rice, noodles, dumplings every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been using this method for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

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