You possibly will not accept that you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes strufoli but it is achievable. The key is to not eat strufoli or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Strufoli

A favorite at Italian weddings.

12 servings

3 cups SIFTED all-purpose flour
5 medium eggs, slightly beaten
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup solid shortening, softened
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 quart oil for deep-fat frying
1 1/2 cups honey
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoons colored sprinkles

Place 1 1/2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a hollow in the center and pour eggs into it. Add egg yolk yolk, shortening, sugar, salt, and lemon rind. Work it with a wooden spoon until dough forms (add remaining 1 1/2 cups flour as necessary). Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and no longer sticky. Cut s mall pieces of dough and roll into thin ropes. Cut ropes into 1/4-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a tiny ball.

Heat oil (at least 2 inches in a deep-fry pan) to about 370 degrees F.

Fry a handful of strufoli at a time, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towel.

Melt honey over medium heat and stir in orange rind. Add strufoli, stirring them in very gently with a wooden spoon. Coat them well with the honey, then remove from pan and "mound" them pyramid-style on a decorative platter. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles and let them cool.

Cover with wax paper and store at room temperature. They will stay crisp for several days.
