You may not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes brazo de gitano (gypsy’s arm rolled sponge cake) but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat brazo de gitano (gypsy’s arm rolled sponge cake) or other high calorie deserts every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 2000 calories a day, and then one day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also believe it helps to have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons sifted confectioners? sugar

Fold into yolk and flour mixture. Butter a 15 x 8-inch baking pan. Line with baking parchment paper or wax paper. Butter well again, and dust lightly with 2 tablespoons of the confectioners’ sugar. Pour batter into the pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then turn onto a cloth to cool. After 10 minutes peel paper off.
