You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet which includes Thai Seafood Soup but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat Thai Seafood Soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then one day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also think it helps to have a little support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
