I was a potato fiend in my youth. The T2D brought an end to that.
No mo potato...{:o(
But I must say...the Mounjaro does bring me hope.
Bkmk
I’ve read that freezing baked potatoes, then reheating, brings down the glycemic index, even more.
Are there any good supplements that might help in my new pre diabetes numbers?
I’ve heard garlic and Berenine( sp) is okay, anyone? I’m trying nOT to go type II
We take fresh potatoes and cut them into small cubes and season them with Tallow and some seasoning. Bake for 30 minutes or so and have them with our cheeseburgers!
I only cook steak fries in the toaster overn.
Dropped deep fryers years ago for the mess and huge amount of oil.
Coat them in olive oil, salt, and 400° for 20 minutes.
I do eat regular fries when having fish and chips at a restaurant.
This week: I'm making potato salad and probably home fries with eggs one day...and maybe stove top scalloped potatoes as a side with dinner. But French Fries...that's junk food...
Oh well, if duck fat fried French fries kill me I’ll die happy! (We also will shallow fry regular leftover boiled potatoes in duck fat, just enough to coat the bottom of pan- crisp them up... ax they say, they are to die for!)
Sadly studies have shown that Potatoes are contaminated with many things. PFAS is now a problem.
This points to what the fries are cooked in, instead of the potato being the issue.
TWICE BAKED POTATOES ARE EVEN BETTER
Fries 3x per week. Yeah, that would be a glucose load. Did they correlate that study with drinking soda at the same meal?
very badly designed study because it assumes all frying oils are the same, with no distinction between healthy animal fat oils like tallow or olive or avocado oil and total garbage oils like cottonseed oil and soybean oil ... i mean, whoever thought that cottonseed oil is something that would be fit for human consumption?
they haven’t proved whether the unhealthiness is from the cooking method or the cooking ingredients ...
I can eat a baked potato any time of day...
Except the skin... Grew up being warned that you “must” eat the skin...
IAC, a long time ago, potatoes were the principal driving force in humanity’s recovery from the black death...
At least that’s what my grandparents told me back in the 1930s & 1940s...
What about hash browns? Asking for a friend, er... I mean my stomach.
Now I’m suddenly dreaming of French fries. 😉
Lol. People usually eat potatoes with other fatty foods. Hamburgers or hot dogs or breaded fried chicken, etc. Poatoes are normally consumed alone. Baked spuds are usually consumed with vegetables and a steak, or slice of baked ham. That just might affect the outcome.
How about baked spuds piled with cheese and chili. Is that more healthy than fries?
Yeah, no. Type 2 here. I avoid most high carb foods ... Potatoes, rice, wheat, etc. And no sugar.
Stock up on green veggies, meat and cheese. Lots of water.
Intermittent fasting occasionally.
