You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes swedish heirloom cookies but it is feasible. The key is to not eat swedish heirloom cookies or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
