Chili Lime Corn on the Cob

Last updated: August 5, 2022

Not eating corn because it doesn’t fit in your low-carb diet? How about rethinking your meal and using corn in place of potatoes, rice or pasta? Corn is a good source of insoluble fiber. This is the type of fiber that helps keep our bowel patterns regular. Keep your portion sizes at about ½ cup, and it can be part of a carbohydrate-controlled diet.
