You may not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes italian love knots but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat italian love knots or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have a little support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

1 pound (2 cups) margarine (do not use low-fat spread)
3 cups (1 1/2 pounds) granulatedsugar
16 cups (5 1/2 pound) flour
3 ounces anise extract (not anise oil), or orange extract,
    or juice of one orange and grated rind
3/4 cup milk
12 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons baking powder

Icing
2 pounds powdered sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla, almond or lemon extract

If margarine is coming directly from the refrigerator, microwave a little until soft.

Cream margarine and sugar together for a minute or two.

Add milk, eggs, orange (if using), baking powder and flour. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

On lightly floured board, divide into small (2-inch) balls, then roll into pencils (the size of your finger) and tie into knot.

Put on cookie sheets with parchment paper liner. Bake at 375 degrees F until light brown, maybe 5 to 7 minutes. Watch carefully to keep from burning.

Apply icing when cool.

Icing: Mix together all but the water. Add water gradually to desired thickness. Spread on cookies.

Recipe may be halved.
