Havent called anyone anything
Juande Ramos did this too. It’s going to take more than that!
:tanguyhuh:
I remember when Capello did something similar with England, and later some of them acted like it was too strict. Believe Moyes banned chips from the cafeteria at United and that wasn't well received either. Hopefully our lot are a little less sensitive, I don't think any of these kind of changes make a difference in isolation, but every little bit adds up.
You’re not even a Spurs fan. You are also 100% someone who is just a Messi fan and bought a PSG shirt.
With how fucked the squad has been managed these last few years it’s going to take a few games to get them going. They also played better in that draw than at anytime in months.
You don't think banning chips makes a difference to elite athletes...
The Linus Pauling institute did some studies which showed that Potato turns into essentially processed sugar (chemically in the body).
Nuff said.
I'm pretty sure his Wolves team who played a similar brand of football weren't as unfit as this.
Who cares? I hope it shows what players of ours are absolute pussies and they get thrown away in December. Treating these millionaires like babies is why we have fallen off the last two years.
That sounds remarkably like a challenge.No more sneaking sandwiches into the ground for you!
In moderation? Not at all. But these kind of rules set the tone. Conte likes discipline, so it's fair game.
And yeah, we've been over how seriously I take most nutritional studies. I'm sure I could find five other ones which say potatoes are great for you.
Spot on as MOST people can clearly see!
Amazing when a scientist on a podcast i was listening to only yesterday said you could almost live on potatoes alone because of how vitamin dense they are. I think its when theyre put into a deep fat fryer that your problem arises
It really does tell a story doesn’t it
Hypoglycemic catalyst for many. Drives up the sugars quickly, then plummets, for many.
Major issue Pauling institute found was when cold stored, the carbohydrate chains break down into what the body see's as simple sugars (didn't bookmark the study).
Fats to cook compound this issue (in some will be the key driver), nice fresh Jacket potato is much less iffy, in terms of mucous forming status.
50g a day Budwig said could be tolerated by many/most, but only if coated in a mix of Flax and Coconut oils (after cooking, no oils to cook was her modus).
The Glycemic Index of Potatoes
Written byRogue Parrish17 October, 2013
While a whole potato would seem on the surface to be a reasonably healthy choice compared with processed foods, spuds are a dud when it comes to their effect on your blood glucose level. Potatoes fall into the moderately high to high ranges on the glycemic index scale, which measures the effects of foods on blood glucose. Potatoes actually rank closer to table sugar, which consists of glucose and fructose, than to other starchy foods that contain long and complex chains of glucose, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.
Measuring Glycemic Index
Determining the glycemic index of a food requires tests on human volunteers to see how the food affects their blood glucose levels. The Linus Pauling Institute’s website explains that volunteers receive 50 grams of a test food such as a potato, and a control food such as pure glucose that contains exactly the same amount of carbohydrate, on a later day. Volunteers’ blood is drawn before eating and for several hours after eating, and blood glucose is measured at regular intervals.Significance
The Linus Pauling Institute reports that a medium-sized baked Russet potato has a glycemic index of 76. This means that the change in blood glucose over time after eating a baked potato is 76 percent of the change in blood glucose that occurs after eating the same amount of carbohydrate as pure glucose. Foods with lower glycemic index values tend to produce lower blood insulin levels, in addition to lower blood sugar levels, according to Harvard Health Publications.- While a whole potato would seem on the surface to be a reasonably healthy choice compared with processed foods, spuds are a dud when it comes to their effect on your blood glucose level.

Potato Types
The glycemic index varies depending on the type of potato -- Harvard Health Publications reports in its listing of the glycemic index of more than 100 foods. Using glucose to represent 100 on the glycemic index scale, boiled white potatoes have a glycemic index of 82, instant mashed potatoes have a value of 85, and sweet potatoes a value of 70. Potato chips, often criticized for processing that adds fats and sodium, actually have a lower glycemic index than other forms of potatoes -- at a value of 51.Expert Insight
Researchers at the University of Toronto looked at the glycemic index of potatoes as it is affected by cooking method. In a 2005 study reported in the "Journal of the American Dietetic Association," they found that boiled red potatoes consumed cold fell in the intermediate range at 56, while roasted California white potatoes at 72 and baked Russet potatoes at 77 fell in the moderately high range. The high range included instant mashed potatoes at 88 and boiled red potatoes at 89.Considerations
If you want to lower the glycemic index of the potatoes in your diet, precook the potatoes and consume them cold or reheated, recommends nutritionists at Oxford Brookes University in England who tested eight varieties of potatoes commonly eaten in the United Kingdom. They found that potatoes with a waxy texture had medium glycemic index values, while those with a floury consistency had higher glycemic index values.- The glycemic index varies depending on the type of potato -- Harvard Health Publications reports in its listing of the glycemic index of more than 100 foods.
