You may not think you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes Thai Chicken with Basil but it is achievable. The key is to not eat Thai Chicken with Basil or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 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 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have only been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

On my one non diet day per week, I like to eat Thai food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating Thai meals but am very elated to see it is possible. If you feel like trying some Thai food, I suggest you make Thai Chicken with Basil which is one of my most admired Thai recipes.

Thai Chicken with Basil

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 red jalape?o peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon chopped unsalted, roasted peanuts

Cut each breast half into 4 pieces. Heat oil in work or 12-inch skillet until hot. Cook and stir garlic and peppers over medium-high heat until garlic is golden brown. Add chicken; stir-fry until chicken is done, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in fish sauce and sugar. Sprinkle with remaining ingredients. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.

Yields 4 servings.

You can adapt the recipe to make it a little healthier or with not so many calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It did work for me and could help you to lose weight as well.
