vegetable biryani - african vegetable stew
July 13th, 2008
You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes vegetable biryani - african vegetable stew but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat vegetable biryani - african vegetable stew or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.
For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please - without going overboard of course.
I have been eating this way 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 aids. I have just been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.
I also believe it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.
