I Don't Mean To Be Corny....But

 Why Can't I Have Corn?

Day 11
The First 21 Days

 

So Diary,

 

Corn, is another one of the 7 foods (NO NO Food) that is not allowed on The Virgin Diet.  So why can't I have corn?... I'm glad that you asked. According to JJ Virgin, symptoms of corn allergies are similar to other food sensitivity reactions including rashes, hive migraines, joint pain, mood disorders, temporary depression, insomnia, eczema, fatigue, night sweats, ear infections, urinary tract infection and sinus problems.

Corn  is one of the most genetically modified crops. When corn is genetically modified, the benefits of corn changes, causing health risk.

So where is corn and where does it hide:

• Popcorn

Popcorn! It's hard to believe how my seemingly harmless popcorn could taste so good yet be so bad for me, but it is. Okay I'm over now. Anyway...

• Grits (I miss you)
• Corn starch
• Corn syrup
• Vegetable oil
• Corn sugars (look for the "Oses", you know, like Dextrose,   Cerelose, Purelose, Sweetose , or glucose) Just read the label and L@@K for the "Oses", corn is surely lurking around there somewhere.
• Corn chips
•  Breakfast cereal (flakes)

I have to be on the look out for hidden corn because they can  show up where you least expect them.

I am following the Virgin Diet regimen and I 've lost 10 pounds. It feels really good too!
