I LOVE sweet potatoes. Baked. Fried. Mashed. I don't care how you cook them, I LOVE sweet potatoes. I was not happy the last time I had a sweet potato. My number was high after I ate but I didn't test before. Tonight, we bbq'd a tri tip and I heated up the other half of the baked sweet potato. I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on it too. Cauliflower joined the meal.
Yummy! Number? 95 mg/Dl Carb Count? 24 to 30 carbs Fiber Count? 10 g. Time? 6:35pm Testing results (and comments) 7:15pm - 40 minutes later: 176 mg/dL (ugh) 7:45pm - 1 hour and 10 minutes later: 194 mg/dL (UGH) Hop on the Precor for 30 minutes at a medium pace Decide sweet potatoes are off my menu because I can't just have one bite. 8:17pm - 1 hour and 42 minutes: 167 mg/dL 8:59pm - 2 hours 24 minutes: 125 mg/dL Not just time but exercise too in order to get my number down faster than what my body could have done on it's own. Oh and a few very large glasses of water.
Live and learn or in my case - Eat and test. No more sweet potatoes.
