Cooked Yellow Corn (1 Cup)

Reduce the corn portion and avoid seconds; fill the rest of the plate with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or salad.

Eat cooked yellow corn alongside protein such as eggs, grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or tempeh rather than eating it alone.

Add healthy fats and fiber, for example avocado, nuts, seeds, or an olive-oil dressing, to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Choose lentils, chickpeas, or beans for part of the starch portion instead of adding bread, rice, potatoes, or other refined carbohydrates with the corn.

Have the corn after vegetables and protein rather than as the first food in the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
