Re: Re: Finally, Something High GI Foods can be Blamed for. Maybe?

I don’t think the article is talking about yams or sweet potatoes (which are in a different family than white potatoes). These are very nutritious.

It’s important to take these studies with a grain of salt (pardon the pun). Occasional eating of white rice (try to eat brown rice if you have a choice) or white potatoes probably won’t harm you. Even Dr W ate out once a week and let his diet lapse for special occasions.

It’s also better for your mental health if you don’t become too fanatical.

Sounds like you’re doing well so far. Keep up the good work.

I have eaten a lot of potatoes lately and I can attribute my loss of

weight to eating potatoes and some greens. Those purple okinawan sweet

potatoes are great. Thanks for the tips on finding them. I also

wonder about the comments related to rice. My body and the doctor

seems to be fine with what I am doing. But, I have pretty much cut out

meat and dairy. labs protein works pretty well too. Are we sure

it isn't a lot of the other processed stuff people are eating that

maybe causing the problems. I don't know if I can give up potatoes and

beans and salsa. Two years ago I was 164 lbs. and today I am 144. I

also eat rice. Sheesh...I always feel conflicted with all the info.

Absolutely. Beans (especially black beans) are a very desirable addition to one’s diet. As is salza.

Don’t understand why they are lumped in with white potatoes and white rice.

You mention having to give up beans & salsa? Beans & salsa are low

glycemic index, certainly not high GI.
