How much weight can you lose by eating only one corn per day

The weight loss effect of eating only one corn per day varies from person to person. In the short term, weight loss may occur due to a calorie deficit, but a long-term single diet can easily lead to malnutrition. Corn, as a coarse grain, is rich in dietary fiber and some vitamins. Each medium-sized corn contains about 90-120 calories. If only one corn is consumed throughout the day, the calorie intake is much lower than the basic metabolic needs of adults, and weight loss may occur rapidly in the early stages due to water and muscle loss. But the human body will activate protective mechanisms to reduce metabolic rate, resulting in a decrease in fat loss efficiency in the later stage, accompanied by low blood sugar reactions such as fatigue and dizziness. Corn lacks high-quality protein, essential fatty acids, and various minerals, and long-term consumption alone may cause problems such as hair loss, menstrual disorders, and weakened immunity. Especially for pregnant women, patients with diabetes and those with weak digestive function, the risk is greater. It is recommended to adopt a balanced diet combined with exercise to lose weight, with a daily intake of no less than 1200 calories. Priority should be given to diversified ingredients such as grains, lean meat, and dark vegetables. Losing no more than 1 kilogram per week is safer and more sustainable.
