We all have a unique reaction to corn. Some of us can tolerate foods like corn tortillas quite well, whereas others find them to be testy on their blood sugar. Low fat corn tortillas can be used on-plan if they’re whole grain corn made in the traditional way that is steeped in lime. This makes the flour more digestible, releases more vitamins and minerals, and raises resistant starch, making it slightly lower on the GI index and more nurturing for your gut biome. If you do just fine with corn tortillas made in this way… feel free to enjoy them on your wisdom journey. It still may not be the best idea to overdo corn though.
Perhaps consider enjoying corn tortillas just 2 – 3 times a week and see how you do. You can go up or down from there. Consider enjoying 2 or 3 nonfat (or very low-fat) corn tortillas or tostadas as your serving size. If having it as a snack, 2 of them is about the right amount and 3 for a meal. You won’t miss the usual sour cream and cheese on these tortillas… your more easily burned avocado and Black Bean Spread will make them succulent without making them hard to burn.

Corn affects everyone differently. Some can handle corn tortillas well, while others find them challenging for blood sugar. Low-fat, whole-grain corn tortillas made traditionally with lime are more digestible, nutrient-rich, and gut-friendly. If you tolerate them well, they can be included in your diet, but moderation is still recommended. This recipe is part of the Wisdom Recipe Collection.
If you choose Protein Option 1 for this E Meal and use the garnish amount (just 2-3 ounces) of chicken, fish, or a lowered amount of Egg White Hack, you’ll need to get more protein via a powdered form. You can have a ½ serving of TH ESSENTIAL, or if you prefer getting super filled up, the Side Protein & Fiber Chocolate Milk should do the trick. Other ways to get more protein would be to use close to a full serving of TH Optimized Collagen in a coffee or tea on the side or by chugging close to a serving of TH Optimized Collagen with 1 tsp of TH ESSENTIAL in a little water right before your meal then chasing with more water. Or you could have the PYY Booster using 1 Tbs each of TH Optimized Plant Protein Powder and TH Optimized Whey Protein Powder or Optimized Protein Mousse.
