Potatoes are great, they can give me that “full” feeling I need

If I ate all that white garbage--bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, beans--my blood sugar would zoom over 200 and I'd be diabetic like millions of other Americans. It's only by giving up all the processed grains and high-glycemic sugary things like potatoes and rice that my blood sugar has come down into a nice stable healthy range.

For the past thirty years the government has been telling Americans to eat as you do, and now we have an epidemic of people who eat that stuff but can't lose weight or lower their blood sugar and blood pressure no matter how hard they exercise. I'm sincerely glad your diet works for you, but for millions, it's been a recipe for disaster. We are all different, so one thing rarely works for everyone.
