You may not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes shuck bread but it can happen. The key is to not eat shuck bread or other high calorie bread every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 2000 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want – without going overboard 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 increased my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Shuck Bread

This is traditional cornbread. The Choctaws call it Bu-Na-Ha.

8 dried or fresh corn shucks
2 cups white cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup partially cooked black-eyed peas
    or frozen black-eyed peas
Butter (for serving)
Salt (for serving)

Boil shucks in water for about 10 minutes; drain, and reserve.

In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, baking soda and water. Stir in black-eyed peas. Form about 4 tablespoons of the mixture into a ball and place on a corn shuck. Fold end of shuck over filling. Fold in sides and then other end to make a squared package. Tie securely with a strip of shuck. Continue in this manner until all filling is used. Cook in boiling water for 45 to 50 minutes.

Remove shucks and serve with butter and salt, if desired. If not serving immediately, refrigerate bread without removing shucks. Reheat for about 10 minutes in boiling water or in a steamer before serving.
