You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a diet which includes yuca fries (yucca frita) but it is feasible. It is pivotal to not eat yuca fries (yucca frita) or other high calorie vegetable every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 2000 calories per 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 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also feel it helps to have professional support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Yuca Fries (Yucca Frita)

1 1/2 pounds fresh yucca (cassava), peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Lime or lemon wedges (for garnish)

Cut cassava into 2-inch long rounds, then rinse. Or you can substitute frozen yucca. Put the yucca and enough cold water to cover, plus 2 inches, into a large saucepan. Add salt and lemon juice. Cover and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and boil until tender, about 25 minutes. Don’t let it boil longer than this or it will become mushy.

Drain through a colander and allow the yucca to cool enough to be handled. Gently peel off any pinkish fibrous layers that may cling to the tuber. Cut the yucca into 3/4-inch wide wedges and remove the fibrous core with a paring knife, then discard. If the yucca is wet, dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or deep fat fryer to 375 degrees F on a deep fat thermometer. Fry the yucca wedges, one third at a time, turning once, until light golden ? about 5 minutes.

Transfer the fried yucca to a tray lined with paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt or salt and ground dried red chile or paprika. Toss. Serve immediately with lime or lemon wedges, or with the accompaniment of your choice.

Serves 4 as a side dish.
