You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes galician almond torte but it is feasible. It is crucial to not eat galician almond torte or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Galician Almond Torte (Torta de Almendras Santiago)

This is usually decorated with a stenciled cross of Santiago de Compostela on the top.

1 pound blanched, skinless almonds or almond powder
10 tablespoons butter
2 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
Confectioners’ sugar

Toast the almonds in a preheated 350 degrees F oven until light golden brown. Process in a food processor until finely ground.

Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, ground almonds and lemon zest and stir just until mixed. Pour into a greased and floured springform pan and bake until a knife blade inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Cool for 15 minutes, then pour the lemon juice over the surface. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Serves 10 to 12.
