I had potatoes and bread along side bacon and sausage for my tea tonight and my mmol after 2 hours was 6.7?
here is what I do I buy a small bag of salad potatoes from Aldi ,boil them when they are cooled down I place them in a plastic bag and freeze them until they are rock hard
I buy a danish light loaf and freeze that also
when I want a meal with spuds or bread I take the rock hard spuds out of the freezer and microwave till hot , I take 2 rounds of rock hard bread rounds out of the freezer and toast them
What has happened to the bread and spuds it has been made into resistant starch it acts like fibre and go straight through your gut
Try it you will be amazed

To be sure, I would want to test also at 3 hours to make sure I had caught the height of the rise.
 
I am afraid this does not work for me. We are all different. The only way to tell is to try it and test to see what works for you. I also am unable to eat the snack bars that use sugar alcohols. They claim that they do not affect the blood glucose. I had an Atkins snack that was absolutely fine, all others spike me horribly, so I stay away from them now.
 
I eat Zerella Fresh Spudlite lower carb potatoes, and Herman Brot Low Carb bread...
 
I'm glad it worked for you. I couldn't eat them. Now I want bacon lol
 
If you posted a bag to me, how long would it take to get here?

I never thought it would!

At this time of year, I can wait for Christmas day and gorge on my King Edwards parboiled and roasted in beef dripping. OK only once a year but worth waiting for.
 
I'm an Aussie and we have those potatoes so once a week I have some- hasn't effected my levels and once I've kept my levels down for more than a year may try them a couple of times a week to see how that goes. Thanks for the tip Tipetoo
 
If Spudlite are 25% less carbs and you have 2 of them, wouldn't you get the same result with 1.5 normal potatoes?
 
@Tipe2too I see you mentioned Hermon Brot Bread again I bought a "loaf" as you suggested and found it quite unpalatable. Not bread like at all unless you are a bird. Stuck it in the freezer in case the apocalypse comes and I need to feed the cockatoos
You can make your own bread with as low carbs that tastes like and looks like bread.
If you are not in Australia you are not missing anything and 25% less carbs for the potatoes is neither here nor there
