You might not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes machaca o carne seca (mexican-style jerky) but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat machaca o carne seca (mexican-style jerky) or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories per day, and then one day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Machaca o Carne Seca (Mexican-style Jerky)

A favorite in Sonora, Mexico, and southern Arizona (south of the Gila River).

4 cups Shredded Beef
Juice of 1 Mexican lime
2 tablespoons garlic pur?e
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
1/3 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup green chile, seeded and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons garlic pur?e

Prepare garlic pur?e by blending 16 cloves of peeled garlic in just under 1 cup of water.

To "dry" the meat, toss it with the lime juice and 2 tablespoons garlic pur?e, place it on a cookie sheet, and bake it for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The meat should be quite dry and beginning to stiffen. If not, continue baking a few more minutes. The meat can be prepared to this point and then refrigerated, if desired.

To prepare the filling, heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the oil, then the onion, and saut? it until it is just soft but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green chile, tomato, dried meat, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons garlic pur?e and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes.
