This diet was actually created
for people who want to enjoy good food and lose weight at the same time. Maize
was the most important staple of the
Aztecdiet .Dieters pick the two days of the week they want to fast. In order for
a food to be of nutritional value, it must include all of the 11 essential
amino acids. Chilies provided iron, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin A, and chia
(salvia) provided calcium and phosphorous. Famine, rather than malnutrition,
proved to be fatal for Aztec populations. Aztec commoners did not live by maize
and beans alone. The Aztec diet and served at every meal-or chilies. Aztecs ate plain tamales steamed in water;
lime, ash, flavoring, chilies, and peppers.
