My personal experiment shows the positive effects resistant starch can have on your blood sugars, therefore potato starch can help you manage diabetes. I urge you not to eat a lot of high carb foods to obtain resistant starch, but to use Bob’s Red Mill Raw Potato Starch.
AT THE VERY LEAST Resistant Starch (Bob’s Red Mill Potato Starch) is an inexpensive prebiotic that benefits the lower gut.
At the most, I’ve seen it improve insulin resistance, improve ‘glucose processing’ and blunt the blood glucose effect of foods.
Now.. I’ve witnessed it apparently blunt a blood glucose spike from intense exercise.
This is the kind of ignorance I fought when going ‘low carb paleo’.
THINK ABOUT THAT!
Below are the top pages and top posts for all of 2013. This year… as every year, had more page views and unique visitors than the previous year. I owe so many so much for helping to make this happen … and big heart felt THANKS! Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas. Thanks to everyone …
Just a couple of pictures of data/charts and a brief explanation. Topic: Comparing 30 days of blood sugar readings, pre and post resistant starch.
I have tested high fat, high carb foods in the past and as noted, my blood sugar would continue to rise for 2+ hours. That did not happen this time, so that is yet another HUGE PLUS!
I have definitely seen enough here today to continue experimenting with resistant starch.
After taking Resistant Starch (Bob’s Red Mill Potato Starch) she’s taking less insulin and experiencing less of the diabetes roller coaster ride, reducing the time spent in organ damaging, elevated blood sugar ranges.
THIS IS HUGE!!!
She has improved her Glucose Processing and she’s taking less insulin and experiencing less of the roller coaster rides that she once was. Reducing the time spent in organ damaging, elevated blood sugar ranges.
In other words, given all the above reported benefits of resistant starch for diabetics, you would have to be an IDIOT not to experiment… so I did. :)
Through a little help from my friends I discovered yet ANOTHER diabetes friendly food preparation technique! Dry aging meats!
Avandia … is a perfect example of the reason I often say, Do not take drugs … NEEDLESSLY! And you will not know if they are needless until you eat a truly low inflammatory meal plan. Why do I ‘harp’ on this??? It’s for your own good, I am TRYING to help you. 1) …
A Registered Dietitian reaches out to me … and no it’s not Hope Warshaw. I wish. :)
To show people … yes I talk the talk, but I also walk the walk. :)
There are many on the internet who ‘talk a good game’ … but do they consistently day in, day out practice what they preach?
As I told someone the other day, “there are many pretenders on the internet… I’m not one of them.” :)
So on behalf of all of those that oppose Big Food, Monsanto, Big Pharma and the Medical Industry’s harmful advice …. THANK YOU NC BOARD OF DIETETICS AND NUTRITION!!!
By attempting to silence my little ol’ blog …. you have helped SPREAD THE WORD TO 100′s of thousands of people.
I ‘preach’ against the use of drugs… needlessly. Brother and sisters, this was NEEDED! I used the drug and just like I had done with the diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension drugs… I weaned off of them.
… but to help a celebrity, especially one of Tom’s caliber would help spread this message FAR AND WIDE!
Helping Tom Hanks would not be just helping ‘one man’ … it would possibly help MILLIONS!
1) It’s not over … the battle continues. I will NOT back down … and I will NOT WAIVER!!! We will take the fight to the enemy until this war is won! 2) The courts had said that I was not harmed when the state board of dietetics told me to sit down and …
Ok… I have new readers so let me cover three things… important things. 1) Every thing we do is an experiment. Get it? Everything you are is a result of all your actions or inaction. What you do, eat and touch will affect you in some way. Will it be positive… or negative? 2) …
In my attempt to prove conventional wisdom wrong … some times I go too far. It is a risk I take and accept.
It’s YOUR LIFE… you can do what you want!
It’s YOUR MIND … you can think what you want!!!
Stop being SHEEPLE!
The medical industry doesn’t have ‘diabetes care experts’, they have experts at increasing diabetes care. They promote diets and lifestyles that increase the need for diabetes care, diabetes services and diabetes drugs.
