You might not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes beef piroshki but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat beef piroshki or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1600 calories a day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please – within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits 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 per week.

On my one non diet day per week, I usually like to eat hungarian food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating hungarian meals but am very glad to see it is possible. If you want to try some hungarian food, I suggest you make beef piroshki which is one of my most admired hungarian recipes.

Beef Piroshki

1 pound ground round
2 medium onions, chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 (7 1/2 ounce) cans buttermilk biscuits
1 egg, well beaten

In a large skillet, cook ground round, onions, and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring often to break up lumps of meat, until beef has lost its pink color, about 5 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Off heat, stir in hard-boiled egg, sour cream, dill, salt and pepper; let filling cool completely.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

One can at a time, separate biscuits. On a lightly floured surface roll out each biscuit to a 3 1/2 -inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each circle. Fold in half to enclose filling. Press edges with a fork to seal closed. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake piroshki 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Keep unbaked piroshki batches covered with clean kitchen towels. Serve warm or at room temperature.

NOTE: Baked piroshki can be frozen and kept for up to one month. Thaw and bake as instructed.

You can adjust the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with not so many calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It did work for me and could aid you to lose weight as well.
