You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet which includes stir fried shrimp with cashew nuts but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat stir fried shrimp with cashew nuts or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within reason of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet food. I have just been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also find it is helpful 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 help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.
