You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes mennonite apple dumplings but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat mennonite apple dumplings or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have just been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day of the week.

On my one non diet day per week, I prefer to eat mennonite food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating mennonite meals but am very elated to see it does work. If you would like to try some mennonite food, I advise you make mennonite apple dumplings which is one of my best loved mennonite recipes.

Mennonite Apple Dumplings

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup milk
4 or 5 apples pared, cored and cut in half
Sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Sift the dry ingredients, cut in shortening, add milk and mix to a smooth dough. Turn onto a floured board and divide into 8 or 10 portions; roll out each portion large enough to cover 1/2 apple. Place apple on each piece of dough, fill core hollow with sugar and cinnamon. Wet edges of dough and press together over apple. Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F until the apples are tender – about 1/2 hour. Serve with boiled Brown Sugar Sauce or put the dumplings into a baking dish, pour the uncooked ingredients for Brown Sugar Sauce into the pan around them and bake until the dumplings are done and the sauce is thick.

Brown Sugar Sauce
2 cups water
2 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter

Combine and cook together for 5 minutes; or simply pour uncooked sauce around dumplings and bake.

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