1/2 cup Butter
1 tbsp Lemon zest
1/4 cup Lemon juice
3 Egg
3 cup Flour

until well blended. Add lemon peel and juice; mix to blend. Beat in
eggs, 1 at a time, until smooth. Gradually stir in 3 cups of the
flour, mixing well. cover and chill until dough is firm enough to
handle easily, at least 3 hours or as long as 2 days. For easier
handling, chill the dough before you form the ring-shaped cookies.
Divide dough in half. Cover and chill 1 portion. Divide other half
into 8 equal pieces. With floured fingers, roll each piece on a
lightly floured board to make a 10-inch rope. Overlap ends of each
rope slightly to form a ring. Place rings about 1 inch apart on a
greased 14x17 inch baking sheet. Sprinkle light with sugar. Bake in a
300 F. oven until golden, 35-40 minutes. Remove cookies from pans and
let cool completely on racks. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve or
store airtight up to 10 days.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you want to lose weight and also better your all round condition, then, as most people know, you ought to follow a specially planned healthy-minded meal plan. At best, this should include five portions of grains, cereals and vegetables each day and take in the right combination of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

In deciding on a meal plan, you have to endeavour to restrict your intake of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

Dieters most certainly look at chain store and branded food products described as 'low in fat'. This is often incorrect, given that a food product may well be very low in fats, but still contain excess carbohydrates.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Your body must have water , it is indispensable for our body's survival and has no fat. Water also fills your stomach and reduces feelings of emptiness. A few experts claim that you should consume as a minimum six tumblers of water each day.

Rather than paying too much attention to which food types that you need to ban from your weight loss program, direct your attention to the "good" foods that you are able to bring into your meal plan. If one can insert some nourishing fruit and vegetables into your meal plan, you will be delighted to find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased chance of being tempted by those unhealthy mid-day sweets and chocolates.
