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.

You're on a wind up - I see no mention of pizza in that article. I was on the point of ending it with this club. Hope you're proud of yourself.

Conte bans pizza at Spurs, Ranieri promises it to Watford

Antonio Conte has banned ketchup, mayonnaise, sauces and pizza among other things from Tottenham Hotspur’s canteen, a far cry from Watford boss Claudio Ranieri offering pizza as a treat for clean sheets. Italians take their food very seriously indeed and that goes for the sporting level too...

I can’t understand how some of our fans have done such a U turn and genuinely believe that everyone should have a clean slate.

How can anyone claim that if you want to replace Winks, Dier, Davies, Dele, Bergwijn, with solid quality and sign a striker that you’re “supporting the wrong club”

I think people have mistaken Conte for Paul Daniels

Fake news. That's just an Italian mob trying to wind people up in the only way they know how. Okay - next game will see something healthy & nutritious smuggled in. Any suggestions?

He's just going on and on about his health blah blah blah and acting like he's better than everyone. I eat healthily, but I don't give a shit and don't want to force that on others if they don't want.

Just keep it moving, pointless drawing attention to it then in that case.

Not getting that vibe at all, just see someone really into their nutrients. Think you might be conflating some other stuff.

Think we can all learn a thing or two from his posts, tbh.

Thanks buddy, my health has been decimated in my 30s by poor choices in my teens and 20s…

Folks get touchy as they can’t separate themselves from elite sports athletes.
 
From what I am getting from this thread is that Conte's new diet isn't just going to make the Spurs player more fit but also the Spurs fans...If it keeps on like this then soon Spurs will have the fittest fans in the world :cool:
