You may not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes halvah but it can happen. The key is to not eat halvah or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have just been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also think it is helpful if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Halvah

1 1/2 cups honey
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup tahini paste

Combine the honey and water in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice and sesame seeds. Gently boil until it reaches the soft ball stage (234 degrees F to 238 degrees F) on a candy thermometer.

Brush a parchment-lined baking sheet with the melted butter. Quickly whip the tahini paste into the sugar mixture using a wooden spoon to form a smooth consistency. Pour into the prepared pan. Set aside to cool.

Turn the candy out onto a cutting board, peel off the paper, and cut into pieces with a sharp knife.
