Thai Lemon Beef

February 1st, 2009

You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes Thai Lemon Beef but it is obtainable. The key is to not eat Thai Lemon Beef or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week 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 signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.
