Is it really a benefit to freeze cooked potatoes or rice for insulin resistance? This thread is for food hacks and tips that either is valid or bullshit
>>21784141Just from a scientific mindset, I'm not even going to verify this "fact" online.
>>21784144What
>>21784141Not really. Insulin resistance is usually just caused by overeating. If you have insulin resistance you're likely overweight and need to lose some.Fermenting grains can have a bigger impact for some people on satiety and managing weight though. Not everyone digests grains well and it can end up leading to overeating and other nutritional issues. A lot of people say basic storebought bread and other grain products make them sick but they can tolerate real sourdough.
>>21784141>insulin resistance?Wear a dexcom, record your numbers in the app, and talk to a nutritionist/doctor. It could be time for medication to assist your weight loss. But, if you want a flippant answer, rice spikes your blood sugar. I'd avoid all but brown rice, and limit portion of it to only a couple of times a week.Potatoes are awesome.

>>21784141I predict that not a single "hack" will be posted because no one knows what that word means, instead people will post recipes, and cooking methods.
What about retarded trends from social medias?
>>21784141Long story short, no.There are multiple type of resistant starches but the increase in R3, the one you get from freezing, is limited.Doesn't help that reheating them also decreases R3 content to some extent.
Leaving your meat out to raise its temperature for a better sear doesn't do jack shit unless you're leaving it out for several hours.
>>21784257I microwave it for a few seconds. You have to be careful with it, but a few short zaps after taking it out of the fridge will help it get closer to room temp more quickly
>>21784141Japanese look diseased. Neat looking potato tho
>>21784141Adding a bit of English mustard to Mac&cheese makes it taste cheesier. I don't know how it works, but it does.
I think making fried rice with day-old rice is a myth.I'm in SE Asia and I've seen hundreds of hawker stalls making fried rice in giant woks. They just use hot fresh rice right out of the cooker.
>>21784141You haven't had potatoes until you try these
>>21784141>freeze cooked potatoes or rice for insulin resistance?It's call starch retrogradation. It occurs when starches lose their original structure due to cooking. If these starches are cooled, it makes a more resistant starch.And actually the process of converting starch to sugar in plants during frost is a natural response to cold temperatures, so if you harvest a crop late season, it will be more sugary/sweeter.
>>21784141most of the dumb food health advice i have seen comes from india.>cook rice in oil so the oil cancels the carbs in the rice>eating poop is good for you>protein powder takes 10 years to digestat a certain point you realize the oceans and himalaya mountains were protecting us from indians and not challenges for us to conquer.the only truth to be healthy is to not eat too much and exercise a bit. no amount of hacks or supplements will save you from yourself.
>>21785209in general indians even the ones who grew up outside villages have retarded Stone Age village peasant superstitions and beliefs about the natural world.
Washing rice and meat is pointless
>>21784141 if by freeze you mean cool then yes it reduces insulin spike by almost half which is a fucking enormous amount that would be hailed as a miracle with any other food>>21784149>>21784158>>21784201thanks retards for pretending like you know your ass from a hole in your face. why the fuck are you even on a food and cooking board if youre going to put zero effort into not being the dumbest person in every thread?
>>21785962"insulin spikes" aren't an issue unless you're diabetic. cooking -> freezing -> reheating rice because it makes it harder to digest and somehow that's a miracle is dumb. that's probably why you have to get so butthurt and hostile about it.
>>21785979I am afraid of getting diabetes, but don't have it. Should I worry about insulin spikes from carbs like potatoes and rice?
>>21785983not really. the biggest risk factor for diabetes is obesity, not just insulin spikes. insulin spikes only become a problem when you're overeating and your body can't handle the volume coming in anymore. eating potatoes with the skin and brown rice can be a better choice to help manage overeating if that's an issue. but otherwise a healthier normal weight body doesn't suffer damage from blood sugar and insulin with those things.
>>21785655washing beef cut thin is the key step in "velveting" for tender stir fry beef. but I guess that's not really what you were talking about
