You may not believe you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes new orleans crabmeat au gratin but it can happen. The key is to not eat new orleans crabmeat au gratin or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within moderation 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 increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

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

New Orleans Crabmeat au Gratin

1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
3 1/2 cups hot whipping cream
1/4 pound butter
1 ounce dry white wine
1/4 cup diced onions
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup diced celery
Dash Louisiana Gold hot sauce
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon diced garlic
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons flour

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a heavy bottomed 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, green onions and garlic. Saut? three to five minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Be careful not to brown vegetables.

Sprinkle in flour, blending well into mixture. Using a wire whip, whisk hot cream into saucepan, stirring constantly until thick cream sauce is achieved. Reduce heat to simmer. Add white wine, lemon juice and hot sauce. Sprinkle in half of the Cheddar cheese, stirring the mixture constantly. Season to taste using salt and pepper. Add green bell pepper and parsley for color. If mixture becomes too thick, add a small amount of hot water or whipping cream.
