Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Potato Starch
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high glycemic index, it raises blood sugar levels quickly and provides instant energy. However, this rapid increase can cause quick hunger and energy dips.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, using it with protein and fiber-containing foods can balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed by mixing it with vegetables or yogurt.
Things to Consider: Potato starch is a food that requires portion control, especially for diabetics. 1 tablespoon of potato starch contains carbohydrates equivalent to approximately 2 slices of bread.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from potato starch, it may be necessary to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes or run briskly for 15 minutes. This activity also helps balance blood sugar.
