You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes Tom Kha Gai Soup but it is feasible. It is pivotal to not eat Tom Kha Gai Soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
