Mashed "Potatoes" that Won't Raise Your Blood Sugar

Many people don't realize that potatoes have a high glycemic level. The glycemic index, glycaemic index, or GI is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the blood stream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. Potatoes have as high of GI as white sugar and white bread. This recipe is good for Phase One dieters as well as anyone with blood sugar issues.
