You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes apple strudel but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat apple strudel or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it helps to have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Apple Strudel

6 cups sliced tart apples
1/2 cup raisins
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped almonds
10 leaves packaged phyllo dough
2 cups butter or margarine, melted
1 cup bread crumbs

Mix together the apples, raisins, lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon, and almonds and set aside. Place a phyllo leaf on a large kitchen towel and brush with butter. Place a second leaf on top of the first and brush with butter. Repeat three more times, making a stack of 5 leaves.

Combine the bread crumbs with 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned. Sprinkle a little less than half the bread crumbs on the buttered phyllo. Place half the apple mixture in a strip about 3 inches wide along the narrow edge of the phyllo. Lift the towel, using it to roll the phyllo around the filling. Use the towel to place the strudel on a greased baking sheet. Brush with butter and sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of the crumbs. Repeat the entire procedure for the second strudel. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.

Makes 2 strudels to serve 10 to 12.
