You might not believe you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes lebkuchen but it is obtainable. It is pivotal to not eat lebkuchen or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also find it helps to have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Lebkuchen (Honey Cakes)

8 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
4 cusp ground almonds
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped citron
2 cusp plus 2 tablespoons honey
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
4 tablespoons brandy

Sift flour, soda and spices together twice. Add ground almonds and citron. Mix honey and molasses in a saucepan and heat to a gentle boil. Remove from the stove. Make a hole in the center of the flour, and add the honey mixture while still hot. As you stir this into the flour, gradually add the brandy. Work this up into a ball of dough, cover, and set aside to ripen in the refrigerator for 8 days. The dough will rise in bulk as it ripens. On the eighth day, roll out the dough 1/4-inch thick and cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds. Set these on greased baking sheets, cover, and store in a cool place overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes or until fully risen and pale brown on the bottom. Cool on racks. As they cool, the cookies will harden. Store in airtight containers.
