The reason why waxy corn is more suitable for weight loss is that its starch structure is different from that of sweet corn. Waxy corn contains more amylopectin, which is easier to digest, but it also provides a certain sense of fullness to the human body, shortens the time of hunger, and thus reduces the amount of food to eat in the next meal. The reason why sweet corn is not recommended is because the sugar content of sweet corn is higher than that of waxy corn. After eating it, the blood sugar rises faster, but there may be an increase in appetite, so waxy corn will be more suitable for weight loss.
How much corn should I eat a day? Two are recommended.

3 How to eat corn with good weight loss effect, whether it is boiled or steamed.
Corn is rich in starch and feels full after eating, which can reduce the intake of other high-calorie foods. If it is the main meal, it can have a good weight loss effect. Boiling or steaming can ensure that the heat of corn will not be increased by adding oil and sugar to cooking. If corn is fried or boiled with sugar, it will not only increase calories, but also increase fat.
Can you eat the corn if it is not ripe? You'd better not eat it.
Although corn can be eaten in an immature state, it is not recommended because of its bad taste. For example, older corn is not cooked, and raw starch is digested and absorbed relatively slowly in the gastrointestinal tract. Eating too much raw corn may cause indigestion symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain. On the other hand, if corn is not cooked, harmful bacteria may not be completely killed by high temperature, and may become sick after eating. Therefore, it is best not to eat it when it is not ripe, so as not to cause harm to health.
