Can you eat popcorn, and if not why. It is a very high in fiber, and without butter I would think it would be fine. You can eat it on any other diet just without butter.

It's also full of carbs, if it isn't on the lists, it isn't okay.

In Phase two you can have popcorn, accoreding to the "Good fats, Good carbs" guide a serving of air popped popcorn 2 cups is limited, also you can have 2 cups of air popped popcorn w/ 1tsp of oil, and its limited.

So YES you can have popcorn (in Phase 2), but more of a treat, not an everyday kinda thing.

And you definitely have to air pop it yourself, as Darlene said. I was looking at the microwave popcorn at the grocery store yesterday, and every single box I picked up had partially hydrogenated oil. This included the ones that were 'light' and 'natural'.

I think it may be limited because corn itself is limited. I'm not certain, but I think both have a high glycemic index. But 2 cups of popcorn isn't really that much corn, so it's okay periodically, especially for a cruncy snack!

Has anyone looked into bags of popcorn that are pre-popped? I haven't yet.

Someone else posted this recipe somewhere in one of the forums. 1/4 cup unpoped corn in a brown paper lunch bag, fold end to close--I fold twice--and put in your microwave for 1min 55 sec. on Hi. That's for an 1100 watt micro. You may have to adjust for your own. Works great.
