Q&A: Is corn a good dieting food because most of it can not be digested?

Question by laneydm: Is corn a good dieting food because most of it can not be digested?
I think due to it’s cellulose most of corn, or at least the wrapping on each corn, can not be digested, and just simply passes through the body. Does this make it a good dieting food due to people being able to eat so much of it without digesting too much carbs?

Answer by MonaLisa Overdrive AM VT wannabe
Only the very thin outside layer of the kernel is cellulose. The rest is VERY highly concentrated calories, mostly carbohydrates. It is a TERRIBLE diet food. There is a reason we use corn to fatten up beef cattle.

One small cup of corn has 123 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat and 606 calories! Thats’ ‘with nothing on it!

Q&A: Why is Sharon Osborne lying and selling diet food when she knows she had surgery to loose weight?

Question by Stupid Grandpa Tricks: Why is Sharon Osborne lying and selling diet food when she knows she had surgery to loose weight?
She had surgery to make her stomach smaller after she got very heavy years ago. Now she goes on TV peddling diet food and claims Atkins diet made her loose weight- She fails to mention she had surgery? Isn’t this misleading to people who do not know her history of stomach surgery?

Answer by Stathis
I think it’s all about branding her self as a fitness guru. Some people came to her and told her the idea maybe she signed and sold only her name I don’t think she made it her self

I’m 14 years old around 5’5 and about 120 pounds.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.

There is NOTHING wrong with being 5’5″ and 120 lbs. You even have room to gain some weight. Jeesh.
