Hi Indiajo,
It's all about the insulin response. Carbs such as corn (whether popped or not) rate high on the glycaemic index (GI). In other words, they turn into sugar in your system very quickly, which in turn provokes an insulin reaction - which is what makes us fat! Lower GI vegies on the other hand, even if they have a higher carb count, take a lot longer to turn into sugar, and so are allowed on the plan.
So if you want the best results from your weight loss, try following the plan as written in Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution.
Cheers.
