Sweet Potato (100 G) and Lamb (1 grams)

Keep the lamb portion lean and moderate, and reduce the sweet potato serving size; fill the rest of the plate with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or cauliflower.

Choose boiled or steamed sweet potato rather than mashed, baked until very soft, fried, or sweetened preparations; let it cool slightly before eating.

Eat the lamb and vegetables first, then have the sweet potato last to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Add fiber-rich low-starch foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans in place of part of the sweet potato portion.

Include a small amount of unsweetened Greek yogurt, avocado, nuts, or seeds with the meal to increase satiety and blunt the rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you.
