You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes mexican orange fudge but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat mexican orange fudge or other high calorie candy every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1600 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet food. I have only been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

On my one non diet day per week, I prefer to eat southwestern food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating southwestern meals but am very glad to see it is possible. If you want to try some southwestern food, I propose you make mexican orange fudge which is one of my best loved southwestern recipes.

Mexican Orange Fudge

3 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup liquid non-dairy coffee creamer
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated orange peel, fresh or dried
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Caramelize 1 cup of the sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Do not stir, but watch closely and tilt pan so that sugar melts evenly and does not scorch.

Slowly and carefully pour the boiling water into the caramelized sugar, and stir to mix. Add the remaining sugar, creamer and salt. Cook over medium heat, and stir until all ingredients are mixed and mixture comes to a boil. Without stirring, cook until mixture reaches 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer.

Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm (pan bottom is barely warm to the touch).

Beat until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape. Fold in grated orange peel and nuts. Spread in a buttered 8-inch square dish, and cut into squares.

Makes about 4 dozen pieces.

You can vary the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with not so many calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It was successful for me and could aid you to lose weight as well.
