Boiled Sweetpotato (without Peel) (1 Medium (2 Inches Dia, 5 Inches Long, Raw))

Reduce the sweetpotato portion and avoid eating it alone; start with a smaller serving and assess your glucose response.

Pair it with protein such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, tofu, tempeh, chicken, fish, or lentils to slow digestion.

Add non-starchy vegetables first, such as broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, zucchini, green beans, or a leafy salad with vinegar-based dressing.

Include a modest source of fat, such as avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil, or natural peanut butter without added sugar.

Cook the sweetpotato, cool it in the refrigerator, and reheat it if desired; this may reduce the speed of carbohydrate absorption for some people.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if safe for you, to help limit the post-meal rise.
