The Mexican Diet Planner
Americanized Mexican cookery has enough fat and calories to blow a man to the moon and back again. Cheese, lard, fried beans - it all adds up to mega calories, mega fat.
However, just because you're dieting - you don't have to cut Mexican cuisine totally from your diet plan.
Here are a few tips and links to some fab Mexican recipes.
Tip #1: When dining out Mexican-style, ask your waiter for warm corn tortillas rather than bingeing on the chips and hot sauce. Add a smidgen of butter OR some salsa to TWO of the hot corn tortillas, roll and enjoy slowly.
Tip #2: Corn tortillas contain about 1/2 the calories of flour tortillas.
Tip #3: If you must have chips and salsa, concentrate on eating more salsa and less chips because the calories are in the chips. Pile as much salsa as possible on one chip - enjoy. Allow yourself to indulge in no more than 10 chips.
Tip #4: Generally - and depending heavily on the restaurant of your choice, some good menu selections include: Tortilla soup, chicken fajitas and tostados.
Tip #5: The beans and rice are ultra filling but are also generally high in calories. Request fresh fruit OR sauteed veggies instead.
Tip #6: Choose water and lemon, unsweetened tea or a diet soda for your beverage selection. One glass of sweetened tea contains enough calories to enjoy 1 taco.
Tip #7: Paper napkins work well to blot away visible oil.
Tip #8: Ask your waiter if grilled veggies are an option.
Tip #9: Look for heart-healthy selections on the menu as many restaurants are getting diet-conscience these days.
