(Diabetes and sweet potato relationship) Is it okay to eat sweet potatoes instead of rice?

Q. Is it okay to eat sweet potatoes instead of rice?

A. Yes, I'm fine.
 

 

The amount of carbohydrates is more important than the type.

In our country, rice is the staple food, but there are also countries where sweet potatoes are the main food.

 

Furthermore, there are countries where bread, potatoes, and corn are staple foods.

Therefore, you don't have to think that you should only eat plain rice.

 

Eating sweet potatoes instead of rice is not bad. However, only eating sweet potatoes instead of a meal is a problem.

 

Eating only sweet potatoes without side dishes allows you to consume more than a bowl of rice.

It is because we tend to eat too many carbohydrates.

 

If you only consume carbohydrates, you'll soon feel hungry later and end up looking for snacks again.

 

To prevent overeating and avoid getting hungry quickly,

When consuming sweet potatoes, potatoes, rice cakes, corn, or noodles as a meal replacement, it is strongly recommended to also eat side dishes.

Side dishes should be well balanced with proteins, minerals, and other nutrients, and should include items like meat, fish, or seasoned vegetable side dishes.

It is said that eating an appropriate amount of 양 (amount) is important.

    칼로리는 감자보다 고구마가 높지만 혈당 수치는 훨씬 낮아서 다이어트 할때 많이 먹었던거 같아요.섬유질도 풍부하니까 다이어트 할때 변비 걸릴 염려도 없고 탄수화물 대용 최고죠
