so i had someone recently ask me a question what’s worse bread or potato so this video is going to talk about each one let’s start with potato now instant potatoes really spike your blood sugars fast because you’re heating and processing this potato down to this tiny little wafer-like particle so when you boil it or cook it you’re getting a very fast spike in blood sugars so that starch is completely broken down so 97. now glucose is a hundred so you’re you’re dealing with a product that’s very very close to pure glucose then we get baked potato that’s 84. it’s pretty high then we get boiled potato which is 82. the more you cook the potato the worst effect it has on your blood sugars if you consume a raw potato you’re going to be pretty much good to go in fact i’m going to tell you right now you can eat as many raw potatoes as you want okay but of course who’s going to eat raw potato it tastes terrible but the point you need to know is like the cooking cooking starts breaking down the starch into something that’s higher and higher on the glycemic index now what about a sweet potato see this word sweet right here there’s three times as much sugar so if you have a choice definitely don’t do the sweet potato because it’s pretty sweet all right now if we switch over here to bread people think that whole wheat bread is so much better it’s virtually the same on the glycemic index 74. but look at that this is actually lower than potato so right there this would be worse but bread many times especially white bread has bleach in there which destroys your vitamin e it depletes your b vitamins especially vitamin b1 and also if you do whole wheat you’re going to have phytates in the brain phytates or phytic acid will block zinc creating a zinc deficiency and then you have the gluten the protein in wheat which will tear up your gut create a lot of inflammation and you may not find that the blood sugars spike immediately but you may find after two hours they start going a little bit higher even three hours they start going even higher when you’re consuming pasta you’ll see a delayed spike in blood sugars so just because you don’t see a quick spike in blood sugars doesn’t mean it’s not a problem it’s kind of delayed you’ll see it a post maybe i don’t know two or three hours but when you get into potato you’re going to see an instant spike what’s interesting is that an average american consumes 53 pounds of bread every single year now the question is what is worse well they’re both kind of on the same level because this creates more of a blood sugar issue but this will create other issues like zinc deficiency gut inflammation vitamin e deficiencies and also a vitamin b deficiency but other than that i think it’s perfectly healthy and i’m being sarcastic thanks for watching hey we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering in keto absolutely not karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating it
