Yum Woon Sen
December 29th, 2009
You may not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes Yum Woon Sen but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat Yum Woon Sen or other high calorie vegetables & salads every day but in moderation.
For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please - within moderation of course.
I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day per week.
I also think it helps to have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
