I'm surprised that is considered a fast metabolism ... 6'1, 155 and 3k calories a day. I'm female 5'6" and run on 2500 and I thought I was about average

tara said:1. Many starchy foods (eg bread, rice, potatoes) spike blood glucose and insulin demand more than most sugar sources (eg fruit, honey, milk). Ie starches and other glucose-heavy carbs often have greater glycemic effect than corresponding quantities of sugars ie sucrose/glucose + fructose/lactose).

Who the hell eats plain rice, or plain bread, or plain potatoes? I was on classic bodybuilding diet rice/meat, potatoes/meat ... 6 times a day for many years and I never had any insulin spikes or low blood sugar crash.. If you eat starchy carbs with proteins. My all time favourite breakfast is Japan style - white rice, natto and eggs+butter. This meal keep my blood sugar stable for 3-4 hours no problem..

If you eat starchy carbs with proteins and especially with fats. Then GI of these starches doesn't mean nothing. My all time favourite breakfast is Japan style - white rice, natto and eggs+butter.

No I'm not or I wasn't. But I had a lots of muscle. So plenty of glycogen available in comparison with the average person.. That's why everybody needs some functioning muscle and not be skinny fat with stored glycogen only in the liver...tara said:I am not arguing against eating starchy foods, esp. if they work well for you. Peat does suggest that if you are eating starches, it is also good to eat some saturated fat and protein with them, as you apparently do.
I was responding to the OP's concern that sugars would cause problematically blood sugar issues, by referring to what Peat says about starches being able to do this just as much or maybe more. I would expect whether it is a problem or not to depend on the state of the person. Someone with really good health, metabolism, liver and glycogen storage function may be able to handle to be a lot of either with little trouble.
I don't think it is only Peat who considers some starchy foods to be able to raise blood glucose higher than many sweet foods - I have seen other GI charts that say this too.
If you read around on this forum, there are people who have tried various versions of low fat/high starch for a while. I gather it's fairly common amongst body builders generally too.
If you can run 3-4 hours between meals that says something about your state. It doesn't mean the same will work for everybody. You are probably in good health. A lot of people who land here are not.
Yes. Peat has encouraged this too, and it make sense to me.YuraCZ said:No I'm not or I wasn't. But I had a lots of muscle. So plenty of glycogen available in comparison with the average person..
