It’s been researched & written about years ago that cooking starchy carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta, etc) and then chilling them prior to eating changes the type of carb into a resistant starch. What is even more fascinating is that it even becomes better for you after you re-heat it!!!

[@user-nz4ux4cw2z]

Well I understand your point but its not so black and white. Not everyone wants a food that has high resistant starch content, sometimes its a good thing to get a quick shot of starchy carbohydrate like maybe before or after a workout. And starch is not bad for you. Its all got to be understood in context.

Chilling cooked potato 12-24 hours increases it’s resistant starch. It can be reheated. If cooled a second time for 24 hours, then resistant starch increases again. Also, adding fat with a carb; such as butter, sour cream, fry in good fats; will dull the impact on blood glucose.

[@kamendimitri5624]

[@MissLibertarian]

“Chilled.” Was it meant as a verb or an adverb? Clearly they chilled the potatoes, but do the starches return to their earlier state when reheated? I doubt it, because breaking down sounds natural, and reforming to what the plant originally produced is complicated and unlikely. “Chilled potato” was probably meant to refer to reheated potatoes that were previously chilled. I’m hoping you are correct!

Adding butter or sour cream may blunt the glucose, but it will add a lot of cholesterol to what is an otherwise healthy meal.

From the. NIH public health website “Cooling of cooked starch is known to cause starch retrogradation which increases resistant starch content. This study aimed to determine the effect of cooling of cooked white rice on resistant starch content and glycemic response in healthy subjects. Resistant starch contents were analyzed on freshly cooked white rice (control rice), cooked white rice cooled for 10 hours at room temperature (test rice I), and cooked white rice cooled for 24 hours at 4°C then reheated (test rice II). The results showed that resistant starch contents in control rice, test rice I, and test rice II were 0.64 g/100 g, 1.30 g/100 g, and 1.65 g/100 g, respectively. Test rice II had higher resistant starch content than test rice I, hence used in the clinical study along with control rice to characterize glycemic response in 15 healthy adults. The clinical study was a randomized, single-blind crossover study. In the clinical study, test rice II significantly lowered glycemic response compared with control rice (125±50.1 vs 152±48.3 mmol.min/L, respectively; p=0.047). In conclusion, cooling of cooked white rice increased resistant starch content. Cooked white rice cooled for 24 hours at 4°C then reheated lowered glycemic response compared with freshly cooked white rice.”

Fact: Sweet potatoes have zero vitamin A. They have beta-carotene, which some people can convert to vitamin A with varying degrees of success, but some people can't convert at all. The distinction is important, despite the fact that some people won't admit that it is. People who can't convert beta-carotene or convert it poorly will never get enough vitamin A from any vegetation.

One whole sweet potato, baked in its skin, provides 1,403 mcg of vitamin A, which is 156% of the DV. The vitamin A present in this root vegetable is in the form of beta carotene.

I think in his video Theoretically you could make it more resistant by heating and cooling multiple times but that still has to be done on a large scale of people for a period of time to really prove it.

[@SharonOBrienMusic]

If potato starch is heated it converts to normal starch and you will get none of the amazing benefits. Resistant starch is made by cooking and then cooling starches like potatoes or rice and not reheating them, transforming regular starch into resistant starch. Carbs, cooked and then cooled, and again reheated, pass through the small intestine into the colon as resistant starch where they are instead fermented by the healthy probiotic bacteria; instead of forming simple sugars with all the potential problems of obesity, diabetes and glucose intolerance.

As a finn we eat alot of potatoes and mostly boiled. If you boil potatoes as whole with the skin starch stayes in the potato, but if you cut that potato smaler peaces it releases much of the starch out (you can see after cutting that the starch that stays in to the knife turns white as it dries). After cutting potatoes when you put it straight to kettle and add water you can see that the water isn´t "clean" becouse some that starch is coming out of those potato peaces. If you change that water few times you have got rid of huge amount of starch. And after you start boiling those potato peaces there comes more starch out of the potatoes as i white foam that floats in the kettle at the surface of water. Now you can get that starch foam out of the kettle with spoon. After your potatoes are done cooking there are hardly any of the starch left in those potatoes. That is my advice to remove the starch and those potatoes doesn´t taste so sweet anymore. Cutting potatoes smaller also shortens boiling time alot. You don´t need to boil those potatoes 30-45 minutes anymore becouse in smaller peaces those will be done 8-10 minutes. That is good way to save energy as well.

So when you put sour cream on a baked potato 🥔 the potato gets chilled and the glucose spike is attenuated ! The COW 🐮 BOY diet ALWAYS WINS !

[@scottheid9715]

Boil them. Superior carb by far!

[@calmingdragon2862]

I eat potatoes every day! I sometimes make mashed potatoes and press them down firmly in a square dish or pan and keep them in the fridge for a day. Then I turn them out on a flat surface and cut them in slices. I sometimes cut them in squares kinda like croutons.

[@leslieannklatt3555]

Curious about if you cook a potato in an instant pot or pressure cooker.

[@Kinetic79]

Anthocyanin, which is referenced to inhibit some starch breakdown (as to result in a lower insulin response) be in higher concentrations in sweet potato is likely not in traditional white-, orange-fleshed potatoes in any significant amount. That antioxidant is purple-colored, and is one of the primary components of the color of dark berries. So you would need to seek out purple-fleshed sweet potato for that effect.

[@danarobichaux1772]

Thomas, I thought you were funny saying a raw potato can break your teeth. I love raw white potatoes. My grandmother used to give us grandkids raw potatoes when she would cook French fries. As she peeled the potatoes, she would hand pieces to us, so all of us grandchildren love them. Of course, now we can’t have the fries, but we still love the raw potatoes. They are a treat for me when I eat them. 😂

[@saginaw60]

Raw? Is potato not nightshade? You must be tough!

Good to know. U can make a cold potato salad with chopped celery and egg, mustard, dill, vinegar and small amt of mayo if the idea of cold plain potatoes doesn't tickle your fancy ;)

Don't forget the mustard w turmeric!

[@steffurness]

You could even add some capers for a little kick

[@AtEboli]

good info. A couple of questions- what about if you ate some other foods with polyphenols when eating a white potato? Wouldn't the polyphenols slow down the absorption of the white potato carbs similar to how a sweet potato does? And secondly, what happens when you re-heat a chilled potato? Does the starch lose it's resistant quality and go back to just like eating a baked potato?

[@conniealldis]

Nope it stays resistant. And if you recool the left overs after reheating them you create even more resistant starch.

[@orioles1971]

According to other doctors and other professionals in nutrition you can recook these starches without effecting the spike. Meaning you can reheat your cold potato. This is also true of rice. Another doctor state if you like real bread if you freeze it and than toast it helps also stopping the spike.

[@horustwohawks]

This is what I havae been wondering about - thank you for posting. Need to find some real data on it though.

[@pearaltamelo1027]

I had just finished eating one medium to large sweet potato one small white potato and one medium beet all cook together in a small amount of water... I ate the whole mixture with butter!

[@kleib7715]

Is the cold carb concept the same with overnight oats or other complex carbs?

[@emmanuelking9988]

Good question 🤔 Would like to know that too...

[@kb1236]

There is a video about frozen bread like this

Microwave, overnight in fridge then fry up in butter with salt and pepper. Yum…and good for me.

[@RobertTaylortaytorhead]

[@spek2554]

Doctor Wolfson recommends that we eat sweet potatoes raw. I tried it. They taste like carrot. This avoids a lot of carb confusion.

[@cocowce]

Thanks Thomas, I would be love to see a comparison on the white sweet potato's compared to the Orange sweet .

[@ajaj3025]

When microwaving the sweet potato, do you add water or you just microwave it dryly like that?

[@jacobshalvey]

It’s crazy because I’ve actually noticed this. It’s way easier for me to overeat sweet potatoes when I bake it versus microwave, likely because it’s much more highly palatable when baked

@@chilltime4878 yea sugar alcohols are pretty burdensome on your GI. Tolerability is all dose dependent. Consider erythritol because in the literature it appears to have the least distress associated with it

[@max410]

I had actually noticed that microwaving sweet potatoes made them look and taste less sweeter than baking them, I thought that was a bad thing because I wasn't thinking about the healthy factor, and I had already heard from Dr gundry that it was better to chill them after cooking them regardless of what method was used to cook them and reheating them a second time, something about eliminating the the lectins in the sweet potato while still keeping all the good nutrients so now I'm confident I can use the microwave and I can just store them and reheat them when I'm ready to eat them.

[@kamendimitri5624]

If you want the least amount of spike in your blood sugar, have the potato with additional fiber (like broccoli), fats and protein. It will slow down digestion even more

[@americafirst9144]

Broccoli in cheese sauce.

[@cincin4515]

Yes. Mixed meals slow the digestion and glucose response. Nobody just eats a potato by itself. We've always eaten mixed meals.

[@kamendimitri5624]

@@cincin4515 Yes, i am just clarifying it. The glycemic index of a food changes a lot depending on what you eat it with which Thomas forgot to mention. It's important to consider.

[@TheSpecialJ11]

It's kinda wild how a balanced meal improves digestion...lmao.

[@vaska1999]

I recommend you check your blood sugar 60 and 90 minutes after eating resistant starches. I tried it and found that even a cooked, chilled potato spikes up my BG and insulin, so it's simply not feasible for me. The guy who runs the Serious Keto channel discovered the same about himself.

It's amazing how little this actually effects you if you watch caloric intake and have a legit workout program. Just eat whatever potato you want FFS.

Calories are old school now. Insulin spike seems more important.

This works for white rice also. Cook it. Then chill it over night in the fridge. Then reheat in the microwave.. = lower glucose readings on your meter

We were wondering about cooking potatoes in an instant pot? Since these cook faster, would they be just as good as a microwave?

I'd recommend the x2 cooked then chilled potato diet... for the short term, it's fantastic at making you hate eating 😂😂😂😂

[@ddavis78704]

If I make white potato salad chilled for 24 hrs pre intake, which cooking method would be better? Would I wind up with more RC3 by boiling than developing a microwave recipe? Is more RC3 better in this case? Which salad, all things being the same other than cooking method, would have the best health profile?

[@SamsonBiggz]

Have you heard the saying "Working hours for pennies"? You're wasting time comparing 30 grams of carbs to 40 grams of carbs. If you're doing low or no carb then don't eat potatoes. If you're doing moderate or high carbs then have a potato. 🤦🏾‍♂

What about pressure cooking

[@curiousandlooking]

After freezing do we have to eat it cold? I’m confused😩

[@Travelbythought]

I discovered by experimentation that if you "undercook" a potato, like baked at 270 or so, it is an energy powerhouse. Baked the normal way it is just a bunch of starch.

[@renee2nadia]

For how long do you bake at 270?

@@renee2nadia Maybe 2 hours. It won't burn so you can cook longer to taste.

Maybe take a look at root vegetables in general as well. Especially since sweet potatoes are not really potatoes and probably have more in common with other root veggies.
