Yellow Sweet Corn (1 Cup)

Reduce the corn portion to about 1/2 cup kernels or one small ear, and avoid refills.

Eat the corn as part of a meal with protein, such as eggs, grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or plain Greek yogurt.

Start the meal with a high-fiber salad or non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, bell peppers, or green beans.

Add a small serving of healthy fat, such as avocado, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or olive oil, to slow digestion.

Choose lentils or chickpeas as part of the meal instead of pairing corn with bread, rice, potatoes, or sugary sauces.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
