There aren\u2019t many of these, but there are a few.\u00a0 Some of the vegetables to eat more sparingly are:<\/p>\n
beets<\/p>\n
butternut squash<\/p>\n
cooked carrots<\/p>\n
acorn squash<\/p>\n
new potatoes<\/p>\n
pale skin potatoes<\/p>\n
rutabaga<\/p>\n
spaghetti squash<\/p>\n
sweet corn<\/p>\n

French fries\u00a0 (very <\/strong>occasional!)<\/p>\n baked potato<\/p>\n parsnips<\/p>\n pumpkin<\/p>\n Most of us can live without parsnips, but potatoes have long been a staple in the western diet.\u00a0 Try eating boiled or grilled new potatoes when you must have them, but it\u2019s time to start substituting other vegetables for these high glycemic ones.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be talking about lower glycemic options in later posts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There aren\u2019t many of these, but there are a few.\u00a0 Some of the vegetables to eat more sparingly are: beets butternut squash cooked carrots acorn squash new potatoes pale skin potatoes rutabaga spaghetti squash sweet corn You can still have them, as they are nutritious and filling and have only medium GI numbers.\u00a0 You just…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":423,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-green-light-red-light-food-lists"],"yoast_head":"\n
