hey pinnacle
firstoff this is the best thread ever !!

i have a question regarding diet with potatoes.
i am now sold on low gi foods (thanks to you)

i have been looking at gi charts and potatos are always rated as 'high"
the lowest chart said they were 62

i see how sweet potatoes are lower (around 54)

some others:
oatmeal - 49
brown rice - 55
spagetti - 43
stone ground wheat bread 53
whole milk 22
beets - 69
apple - 38

the charts say less than 55 is considered low gi
i just want to get feedback as i am changing my diet for the better
thanks in advance

I think Alex-69 did a fine job at answering your question.

Sweet potato is best IMO,followed by regular potato,then brown rice.It's been proven the human body does not metabolize grains well at all.So anything with flour should be used on a limited basis.Bread/pasta are Ok on occasion,and I mean occasion.If you have them as a staple in your daily nutritional plan you will slowly acquire unwanted BF.Blood types play a role in what carbs an individual metabolizes best.So if you know that and have an understanding/knowledge in biology,you can dial in your carbs quickly.
