You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes haitian bread but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat haitian bread or other high calorie bread, rolls every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

On my one day off per week, I usually like to eat caribbean food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating caribbean meals but am very pleased to see it is possible. If you want to try some caribbean food, I propose you make haitian bread which is one of my favourite caribbean recipes.

Haitian Bread (Pain Ha?tien)

2 packages active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (105 to 155 degrees F)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon freeze-dried instant coffee
2 tablespoons milk

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in honey, oil, salt, nutmeg and 2 cups of the flour. Beat until very smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 50 minutes. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.

Punch dough down. Press into greased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch jellyroll pan. Cut dough into about 2 1/2-inch squares with sharp knife, cutting two-thirds of the way through dough. Cover; let rise until double, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Dissolve instant coffee in milk; brush over dough. Bake until bread is golden brown, about 35 minutes.

Break bread into squares to serve.

Makes 24 squares.

You can adjust the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with not so many calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It did work for me and could assist you to lose weight too.
