You possibly will not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes blue corn tortillas but it is feasible. The key is to not eat blue corn tortillas or other high calorie breads every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories a day, and then one day, I eat anything – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

On my one non diet day per week, I usually like to eat mexican food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating mexican meals but am very happy to see it is possible. If you want to try some mexican food, I propose you make blue corn tortillas which is one of my best loved mexican recipes.

Blue Corn Tortillas

1 cup Masa Harina?
1 cup harina de maiz azul (blue cornmeal)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons warm water

Mix all ingredients with a wooden spoon in a bowl until dough is formed, about 2 minutes. Let stand, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 2 minutes.

Divide the dough into 12 parts. Roll each part into a ball, keeping the balls you are not using in a plastic bag so that they don’t dry out. (If the dough does get too dry, add a little extra water.) Place a ball on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover it with another sheet. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, then finish rolling with a rolling pin, working quickly and lightly. Flip the package over and repeat until an approximately 6-inch circle is formed. Peel away the top layer of plastic wrap, flip the package over gently, and peel away the other piece of plastic wrap. Cut out a perfectly round tortilla with a sharp knife and carefully transfer it to a flat, hot griddle. Bake on the first side for about 30 seconds. Flip over and bake on the second side for about 30 seconds. Flip once again. Press down on the tortilla firmly with a folded dish towel and quickly lift it away again. This will cause the tortilla to puff.

You can adapt the recipe to make it a little healthier or with less calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It did work for me and could help you to lose weight also.
