Starchy Tuber Vegetables

Potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes are considered tubers (vegetables that grow underground and have a swollen stem). Grok probably found the occasional wild tuber in his travels and enjoyed its starchy contents, particularly after learning how to roast it. However, most potatoes in general are another domesticated, recently introduced product that happens to stimulate a high insulin response when eaten. Yams and sweet potatoes are nutritionally superior to the lighter colored potatoes (russets, reds, whites, new potatoes) and stimulate a lower insulin response. Starchy vegetables might be a particularly appealing choice for those who require more than 150 grams per day of carbs to replenish their frequently depleted muscle and liver glycogen stores. This would include the Chronic Cardio crowd and those with very active lifestyles and high metabolisms.
