You might not accept that you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes lentil soup with sausage but it can happen. The key is to not eat lentil soup with sausage or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – within reason of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet food. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also find it is helpful if you have some support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Lentil Soup with Sausage

12 ounces brown lentils, washed
4 ouncs bacon, chopped
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 sticks celery, sliced
2 carrots, peeled, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 to 4 bratwurst, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1 cup water or stock

Soak lentils in a large bowl or stockpot with enough water to cover for 3 to 4 hours.

Drain and place in a large stockpot. Add bacon, onion, celery, carrots and 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to boil; cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

When lentils are almost cooked, melt butter in a frying pan and fry bratwurst until brown. Remove and set aside. Stir flour into butter in the pan and gradually whisk in additional water or stock. Bring to boil, stirring continuously. Add vinegar and seasonings and allow to boil for about 1 minute.

Stir the mixture into the soup, blending thoroughly. Bring back to boil and then allow the soup to simmer, uncovered, for a further 40 to 50 minutes, or until the lentils are completely tender. Add bratwurst and heat through.
