You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes pork roast and potato dumplings but it is feasible. The key is to not eat pork roast and potato dumplings or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – 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 changed my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have just 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 helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Pork Roast and Potato Dumplings

Dumplings
3 to 4 pounds starchy potatoes
2 to 3 eggs
1/2 to 1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

In a large pot, boil potatoes in salted water with the skins on. Peel and put them through a ricer (if you don’t have a ricer, use the back of a spoon to smash potatoes through a sieve). Let cool completely. Refrigerate.

The next day, set a large pot of salted water to boil. To the cooled, riced potatoes add eggs and 8 to 14 tablespoons of flour, depending on how starchy the potatoes are). Also add salt, nutmeg and parsley. Using your hands, form potatoes into balls between the size of golf and tennis balls. Add the potato balls to the boiling water but do not let the water continue to boil. When they float to the top in 15 to 20 minutes, they are done.

1 pork roast
Oil (for browning)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Paprika, to taste
1/2 to 1 pound coarsely chopped onions
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into
    3-inch lengths (optional)
2 chopped tomatoes (optional)

In a large, heavy pot, heat oil. Sprinkle the roast with salt, pepper and paprika, and brown quickly in oil. Add onions and brown them, too. Turn heat down to medium-low. Add a little water. A carrot and a couple of fresh tomatoes can also be added if desired. Cover and cook for 2 hours, turning occasionally.

To make gravy (optional), remove the roast and add a little water to the pan to de-glaze it. Make gravy by adding a little flour or cornstarch to thicken the drippings.

Serve dumplings and pork roast with a fresh butter lettuce salad, red cabbage or sauerkraut.

Makes 8 servings.
