You may not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes scandinavian christmas fruit bread but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat scandinavian christmas fruit bread or other high calorie bread every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything – within moderation of course.

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

I also find it helps to have some support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
3/4 cup lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 egg
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup cut-up citron or mixed candied fruit
