Corn is basically dead weight. it really offers no real nutrition, it is difficult to digest and often doesn't digest before being relieved - it really has no good purpose at all, except for taste and the by products it can produce.

like everything else that is bad for you when you are on a diet corn (any kind) has a lot of calories. It is, I believe a starch like potatoes. I am also on a diet and have lost 10 pounds in a little over a week. I use to eat a bowl of ice cream every nite but now instead i eat a carton of yogurt.

it's the glycemic index thing. corn is metabolized quickly since it is a carb and has natural sugars. your body uses the sugar quickly and you get an insulin spike and you get hungry again quicker, plus your body stores simple sugars quicker than protein or complex carbs. so corn gets the boot from strict dieting, even though it is a vegetable. yogurt is good for you if lowfat and low sugar. again, sugar makes it metabolize quickly so go for the ones with no sugar, and high fat dairy is also high calorie.

How will you determine what is "not advisable"? There are a million shaky opinions about how to loose weight. Mostly it is a question of exercise more and eat less. If you deprive yourself of all energy foods, such as carbs, you will loose energy and have no strength to exercise. Lack of exercise will usually lead to weight gain. In addition, normal, healthy bodies do not suffer from insulin spikes.
Corn is a very nutritious food. One cup of corn provides 25 percent of daily vitamin B1 need, 19% of folate, 18% of fiber, 17% of vitamin C, 17% of phosphorus, 16% of manganese and 15% of vitamin B5.
Folate, which you may know about as a B-vitamin needed to prevent birth defects, also helps to lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that is an intermediate product in an important metabolic process called the methylation cycle. Homocysteine can directly damage blood vessels, so elevated blood levels of this dangerous molecule are an independent risk factor for heart attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease, and are found in between 20-40% of patients with heart disease. It has been estimated that consumption of 100% of the daily value (DV) of folate would, by itself, reduce the number of heart attacks suffered by Americans each year by 10%. Folate-rich diets are also associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer.
Corn is a good source of thiamin, providing about one-quarter (24.0%) of the daily value for this nutrient in a single cup. Thiamin is an integral participant in enzymatic reactions central to energy production and is also critical for brain cell/cognitive function. This is because thiamin is needed for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for memory, whose lack has been found to be a significant contributing factor in age-related impairment in mental function (senility) and Alzheimer's disease. In fact, Alzheimer's disease is clinically characterized by a decrease in acetylcholine levels.
I live in China where people buy roasted corn from pushcart-grills on the sidewalk and eat it as a snack food while walking down the street. It is much healthier than a bag of Bugles. These people don't look fat to me.
Those who think corn is indigestible may have forgotten to chew it.

You only rent sweet corn. Easier to open the can and pour it down the toilet and cut out the middle man.

Corn is high in sugar content. Sure, the sugar calories burn off first, but while those calories are burning off none of your other calories are. Sugar, pure and natural though it may sort of be, just acts as a barrier between you and burning off say, those cheese burgers.

I never thought corn would be bad for someone's diet. I suppose it has a lot of carbs (as do many other foods), but I'm guessing you're referring to all the dietary fiber (cellulose is indigestible). Hmmmm.... fiber is good though...

You can have them if you eat them in moderation. sweet potatoes are a good alternative to regular potatoes. when you eat either of those things make sure you eat the serving size on the lable (or look up the serving size online) and try to stay away from lots of butter.

corn is a vegetable that does not offer much and most the time your body does not digest it and it comes right out the same
