You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes green tomato pie but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat green tomato pie or other high calorie vegetables every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also feel it helps to have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Green Tomato Pie

This pie is very much like apple, but better and really different.

425 degrees F for 15 minutes, then at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes more.

About 1 1/4 pound very green tomatoes-not pink

Slice tomatoes in half and then with cut sides down, slice the halves very thinly (about 4 cups very thinly sliced).

3/4 cup seedless raisins, plumped
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour
1 or 2 tablespoons fine dry bread or cracker crumbs.
2 tablespoons margarine or butter

Cut tomatoes in half and slice them almost paper thin. I keep raisins soaking in a little rum in a jar, so they are always plump. You could pour boiling water over them in a sieve to plump up if you don’t want to use rum.

Drain well.

Put tomatoes, raisins and rind in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and vinegar.

Mix sugar, ginger, cinnamon, salt and flour in a small bowl.

Line a large pie pan with dough. Sprinkle crumbs over bottom. Sprinkle about 1/3 cup of the sugar mixture over the crumbs.

Stir the rest of the sugar mixture into the tomatoes and heap into pan.

Dot with small pieces of the butter and top with crust.

Sprinkle the top with a little sugar and nutmeg if desired, looks nice. I often put 1/2 teaspoon or so of nutmeg into the flour when I’m making the crust also.
