You may not think you could lose weight while on a diet which includes basic tamale dough but it is achievable. The key is to not eat basic tamale dough or other high calorie tacos, tostado, tortilla every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories a day, and then one day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also find it helps to have a little support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Basic Tamale Dough

4 1/2 cups corn flour
4 to 5 cups warm chicken broth, plus more as needed
1 pound lard or shortening
2 1/2 tablespoons salt

Place corn flour in a large bowl and add 4 cups of warm broth. Beat with a wooden spoon or mix with your hands until dough is smooth. Use a little more broth of necessary, but the mixture should not be loose.

Beat lard or shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed about 3 minutes, until fluffy.

Begin adding corn flour mixture a handful at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary. Alternatively, beat in tamale mixture using your bare hand as a whipping and folding tool. If the mixture becomes too stiff to beat, add up to 1 cup tepid chicken or pork broth a little at a time. When done, the mixture should be light and delicate, the texture of butter cream frosting. Beat in salt.
