Also "google" Glycemic Index...... the lower the number, the better it is. I like the article from Harvard Health Publishing, Harvard Medical School, called "Glycemic index and glycemic load for 100+ foods. For instance, Watermelon has a high glycemic incex (80). But a serving of watermelon has so little carbs (6 grams), that its glycemic load is only 5.
My husband has also switched to brown rice and Uncle Ben's Rice instead of potatoes..... for this reason.
