turkey tamale casserole

January 8th, 2009

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

For example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it helps to have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

1 (14 to 16 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chili without beans
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 cup chicken broth or water
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced pitted ripe olives, drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
