You possibly will not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes whoopie pies but it is feasible. The key is to not eat whoopie pies or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want - within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have just been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also find it is helpful if you have professional support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
