Corn and Carbs

Corn (one 154g serving) has about 29 grams. That is a moderate amount of carbohydrate considering it's a high volume food.

It also has 5 grams of fiber per serving and since fiber counts as a carb that means that corn has only 24 grams of carbs per serving - fiber doesn't go into the bloodstream and affect your insulin or get stored as fat which is why it doesn't count as a carb.

It doesn't matter what diet you're on, in my book that counts as a moderate-carb food which means you can eat a moderate amount of corn and not worry about it too much.

You would need to eat 1 cup of the stuff just to reach your carb limit on a Keto diet, that's how much carbs it has to put it into perspective. So you can be Keto and eat a serving of corn.

Controlling insulin is key when it comes to losing weight and good health and adding in corn ensures that you are as safe as can be with that food group.

Eat and be healthy.
