You may not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet which includes tamale casserole but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat tamale casserole or other high calorie tacos, tostado, tortilla every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also believe it helps to have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Tamale Casserole

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, browned
    (about 3 3/4 cups cooked)
1 package taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles (optional)
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package corn muffin mix (or two 6 1/2 ounce package)
Grated Cheddar cheese for garnish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Drain browned ground beef well and place in a large skillet.

Over medium-high heat, stir in taco seasoning mix, water, tomato sauce, corn and chiles, if desired. Simmer for 3 minutes, then pour into a 2-quart casserole.

Prepare corn muffin mix in a medium bowl according to package directions. Spoon corn muffin mixture around outer edge of casserole. (If using two 6 1/2 ounce packages, you’ll have enough to cover top.) Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle cornbread with grated Cheddar cheese and return to oven for 2 to 3 more minutes, until cheese melts.
