| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I had someone recently asked me a question, what's worse? Bread or potato? |
| 0:49.5 | So this video is going to talk about each one. Let's start with potato. |
| 0:54.5 | Now, instant potatoes really spike your blood sugars fast because you're heating and processing |
| 1:02.3 | this potato down to this tiny little wafer-like particle. |
| 1:07.0 | So when you boil it or cook it, you're getting a very fast spike in blood sugars. |
| 1:13.5 | So that starch is completely broken down. |
| 1:17.6 | So 97. |
| 1:19.9 | Now glucose is 100. |
| 1:22.4 | So you're dealing with a product that's very, very close to pure glucose. |
| 1:32.2 | Then we get baked potato. That's 84. It's pretty high. Then we get boiled potato, which is 82. The more you cook the potato, the worse effect |
| 1:38.1 | it has on your blood sugars. If you consume a raw potato, you're going to be pretty much good |
| 1:43.4 | to go. In fact, I'm going to tell you right now, you can eat as many raw potatoes as you want. |

| 1:57.5 | Cooking starts breaking down the starch into something that's higher and higher on the |
| 2:00.9 | glycemic index. Now, what about a sweet potato? See this word sweet right here? It's three times |
| 2:07.9 | as much sugar. So if you have a choice, definitely don't do the sweet potato because it's |
| 2:14.0 | pretty sweet. All right. Now, if we switch over here to bread, people think that |
| 2:20.7 | whole wheat bread is so much better. It's virtually the same on the glycemic index 74. But look |
| 2:27.6 | at that. This is actually lower than potato. So right there, this would be worse. But bread, many times, especially white bread, |
