You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a diet which includes fried tomatoes with garlic but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat fried tomatoes with garlic or other high calorie vegetables 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 for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

On my one non diet day per week, I usually like to eat middle eastern food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating middle eastern meals but am very happy to see it is possible. If you want to try some middle eastern food, I suggest you make fried tomatoes with garlic which is one of my most adored middle eastern recipes.

Fried Tomatoes with Garlic

Source: Lior’s Kitchen Talk

This is served in Palestine and Jordan.

4 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 small hot pepper, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons oil
2 large, firm tomatoes, thickly sliced

Thoroughly mix the garlic with the pepper, salt, and hot pepper; then stir in the parsley and set aside.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tomato slices and cook for about a minute on one side; then turn and sprinkle slices with the garlic, hot pepper, and parsley mixture. Continue to cook for another minute, shaking the pan occasionally; then turn the slices again and cook until they are done, but not mushy. Slide the tomato slices onto a plate, and serve immediately.

NOTE: Do not try to cook more than two servings at a time or the tomatoes will end up overcooked.

This type of tomato appetizer is great scooped up onto Arabic bread.

You can change the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with less calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It worked for me and could aid you to lose weight also.
