tex-mex roasted chicken

August 26th, 2008

You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet which includes tex-mex roasted chicken but it is obtainable. It is crucial to not eat tex-mex roasted chicken or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet food. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it is helpful if you 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 reach your goals.
