Antonio Conte’s fitness coach at Tottenham plays classic music to inspire, makes stars ring ‘bell of shame’ and had some ‘on verge of throwing up’​

If this man can’t sort their mentality and fitness issues out he’ll ship them out and if that’s the case bloody good riddance

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 Parrish
17 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.

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.

Sorry for Zesting again, but as pharmacist I can give accurate info - Sugar isn't good, meanwhile all the artificial sweeteners are thoroughly tested and proven very safe. You can get diarrhea if you overdose them, that's what sometimes happens to chewing gum addicts, but no long term risks. If you're good at controlling your diet three cups of tea with sugar won't hurt you. But since it's so easy to replace and it's hard to control your diet overall, cutting all carbs with high glycemic index (like sugar or white bread) is highly recommended.

Never represented Country, but went Nationals for Basketball, at U13s London had a guy who could slam dunk!

But, he tried to be a one man show and we as a team very nearly beat them, though our components were maybe 40% as talented/physically gifted.

Made a big impression at 12, how team is bigger than parts, before I understood anything of gestalt etc.

Skills though buddy.

Horse shit regarding sweeteners.

We’ve had a debate before, I’m sure?

So in a friendly retort, your thyroid health is seriously at risk if you take Sucralose, simply duck duck go it “Sucralose Thyroid”.

The compound is not found in nature, so it was postulated we do not metabolise it and it hence has zero calories, crudely.

However informal studies have shown in a high number no trace of the compound was found after 7days (when study ended, if still inside after 7days there’s bigger problems than Sucralose!!!).

Now, if the compound is metabolised, as a pharmacist, do you understand the implications to thyroid health? You should.

Personally, when my daughter was offered Sucralose post blooods, due to a lame Oz study, I informed the entire team of this dynamic and the response from her consultant, registrars, nurses (who were stupidly trying to strong arm me into accepting an adjunct by pressure), was literally jaws dropped.

Further, pertinent to this discussion, as she was extreme premature, my response was “I’d rather you gave her sugar” then corrected myself that I would still reject that. “We’ll clearly you do your research and we respect your choice, Consultant meekly said.

Anyway, most find that differing sugars, honey, date syrup, coconut, do not cause the same spikes and/or crashes, and are OK for many.

But, giving your pancreas some time off from any strenuous work, and re-invigorating the Liver may be the promised land.

Just bouncing off you dude. Seem to recall a decent to and fro’ before, you’re cool.

Forgot about that, mate, being a junk food veggie, Potato wheat and Dairy were my most intimate lovers!!!

Now, they mostly hate on me! Just wore out my capacity to produce the enzymes to break it all apart and let biological alchemy ensue as it should.

Hence I’ve been pushed onto a path of learning mad ways to be able to eat almost anything but veg (you can always fall back on veg!).

This in a chapter of a book, which should be taught on every medical doctorate IMO:

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration – Choose Life

chooselife.co.uk chooselife.co.uk

The information a person can learn, in 20minutes is astounding, but nobody (largely) wants to see it.

The empire put trade ships around the world, trading local goods for white mans foods, white bread and sugar, showing these backwards people how rich their lives may be if they introduce bread and cakes….


Fig.111.jpg


People think it’s mild, but it’s profound, when you go processed sugar free for a period, clarity and some wellbeing most forget can be attained still (even post these formative issues and later life challenges), is incredible (but I bounce between states).

Anyway, thanks for stimulating some info
one or two may be into.

SCROLL on by anyone else!
