  • Sweetcorn?

    Hi

    Does sweetcorn come under the starchy veg list?

    I had about a tablespoon full of them with my dinner last night but im only on the fruit rung, so was a bit naughty.....in a good way.....

      One cup of corn has about 28 net carbs. There is about 16 tablespoons in a cup, so about 2 carbs per LEVEL tablespoon - that would be very few kernals, I bet it was a well heaped tablespoon, which would be up to three times that amount. That's a lot of carbs for very, very little. There would be about the same amount of carbs in that tiny, tiny portion in a level tablespoon as in whole cup of chopped broccoli. So, for me at least, not worth it.

        emma; I slipped up over xmas and new years, so did a week of induction to get back on track, i then went back onto the fruit rung which is where i was b4 the holidays. Tomorrow i start on the starchy veg rung.

        Kate; Thanx for the info, i think i will keep sweetcorn as an occasional treat in the future, i didnt know they contained that much carbs!!

            hehe...yes i did!

            i just had a thought, should i do like 5 days on each rung left, instead of a week, so i get to pre-maintenace quicker??

              no dont do that, stick with what you're doing, a weeks generally not long enough to spot problems so 5 days definitely isnt!
