You may not believe you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes cannelloni but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat cannelloni or other high calorie pasta every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 2000 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.
I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.
I also find it helps to have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Special Seasoning
1 1/4 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons white pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons dried basil
Mix together.
Filling
2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
3/4 cup flour
16 crepes or 16 manicotti shells,

In a large saut? pan over medium heat, cook ground beef and yellow onions until meat is fully cooked and onions are tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Add the eggs, Parmesan, bread crumbs, garlic and flour, mixing together well. Stir in Special Seasoning and reduce heat to low.
If using crepes, place 4 to 5 ounces (about 1/2 cup) of filling in the center of each crepe and roll lengthwise; if using manicotti shells, gently stuff filling inside shells with a spoon. Place in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Cannelloni may be frozen at this point or stored in a refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator overnight before serving.
When ready to serve, heat at 350 degrees F, covered, for about 20 minutes.
To serve, place two crepes or shells on each plate and top with your favorite red or white sauce.
