You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes pesto but it can happen. The key is to not eat pesto or other high calorie pesto every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1800 calories a day, and then one day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also believe it is helpful if you have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Pesto

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons pine nuts (pignolias)
1 cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves,
    rinsed, drained, and stemmed
2 medium cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly-grated Romano cheese

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in small saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts; saut?, stirring and shaking pan constantly until nuts are light brown, 30 to 45 seconds.

Transfer nuts immediately to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Combine pine nuts, basil leaves, garlic, salt and remaining 1/4 cup oil in food processor or blender container. Process until mixture is evenly blended and pieces are very finely chopped. Transfer basil mixture to small bowl. Stir in Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Pesto can be refrigerated, covered with thin layer of olive oil, up to 1 week; or pesto can be frozen for several months. Thaw and bring to room temperature before using.

Toss pesto with hot cooked buttered fettuccine or linguine. It will dress 1/2 to 3/4 pound pasta.
