You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes tamales dulce (sweet tamales) but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat tamales dulce (sweet tamales) or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Tamales Dulce (Sweet Tamales)

Dried corn husks
4 cups Masa Harina?
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup lard or shortening
1 1/2 cup strawberry preserves

These can be made with any combination of fruits or jams that you like; and some add nuts.

Place the corn husks in a pot, cover them with boiling water, and allow them to steep, covered, for 1/2 hour. Mix dry ingredients together; then add the water to make the dough. The dough should not be quite as damp as that used in meat tamales because you will be adding the preserves. Beat the lard with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the dough, a little at a time; then beat in the strawberry preserves. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dough on a corn husk and then roll it up. If the husk is large and pliable enough, you may be able to fold over each end to seal it; if it isn’t, tie the ends with string. Steam the tamales for 1 1/2 hours or until the dough is set and does not stick to the husks.

Serves 4.
