You may not believe you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes scandinavian pork patties with gravy but it is possible. It is pivotal to not eat scandinavian pork patties with gravy or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

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

On my one free day per week, I tend to eat scandinavian food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating scandinavian meals but am very pleased to see it does work. If you feel like trying some scandinavian food, I suggest you make scandinavian pork patties with gravy which is one of my favourite scandinavian recipes.

Makes 4 servings

3/4 pound ground pork
1/4 cup flour
1 egg large
2 tablespoons onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coriander ground
1/2 teaspoon sage dried
1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup water
5 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup onion chopped
1 cup mushrooms sliced
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons beef bouillon
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
4 potatoes, boiled

In a small mixer bowl at low speed, beat pork, 1/4 cup flour, egg, minced onion, salt, coriander, sage, thyme, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper just until blended. Slowly add 1/2 cup water and beat until mixture is smooth and light.

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the margarine until foam subsides. Drop about 1/4 cup of the pork mixture at a time into skillet and shape into patties about 1/2 -inch thick. Saut? 7 minutes or until a rich medium-brown crust forms. Turn patties and cook 7 minutes longer or until no longer pink in the center. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, saut? chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of the margarine 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and saut? 2 minutes longer. Remove to a small bowl; set aside.

In the same saucepan over medium heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons margarine. Add 2 tablespoons flour. Cook and stir 1 minute or until lightly browned. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, bouillon granules, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stirring, bring to a boil and boil 3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Return onion and mushrooms. Stir in sour cream until blended. Cook over low heat just until heated through (do not boil).

Serve with potatoes. Pass gravy separately.

You can change the recipe to make it a little healthier or with fewer calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It was successful for me and could help you to lose weight as well.
