I have been testing safe starches for less than two weeks and will need to do so much longer. But so far, for me, Sweet Potato worked like a charm bringing BS down; white rice not at all, and it changes daily. Eat sweet potato with dinner, next morning the BS is low and I can fast to noon, no hunger. Eat white rice, the next morning BS is high and I am hungry early. A weekly dose of carbs wouldn't work for me, at least so far... but I haven't ventured into the land of white potato, boiled and cooled into "resistent starch"...yet. I really would like to "just eat real food".
