Hi there
I wondered about Corn flour or Corn meal? Would that be allowed on the diet. Sweetcorn isn’t mentioned much. I was thinking of making some cornbread as a substitute for normal bread.
What do you think?

Yes I wondered about that too and also corn tortilla for tacos but I wonder if its too much sugar. Is there any one out there how can elighten us ??? Please …
according to my fitness pal, 30g of cornmeal has 24g of carbs, so it is quite carby. (and 110 calories)
Lots of people on these forums rave about pancakes/flatbread made with gram flour – it’s taken me a bit of experimentation to get the right consistency, but they are really nice – I had one this evening with bean salad and about 15g of really strong cheddar – delicious, and a bit tortilla-like.
Really simple, you just mix with water and add seasoning if you want it, mix well and fry in a pan – you can bake them too.
Some recipes state equal flour and water; I’m using 25g flour and about 40ml of water for an 8 or 9 inch pancake.
They are quite versatile – tortillas, flatbread, pizza bases
the calorie count is similar to cornmeal, but for the same quantity, 30g, only 17g of carbs (about 70%)
It also has about 7g of protein, (1 or 2g in corn meal) and is also a reasonable source of fibre
Have a look at this chart. My rule of the thumb is, if its in the green zone, crack on!
