How To Treat Insulin Resistance

Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables

It seems odd to be wary of vegetables at all, but when someone needs to monitor their carbohydrate intake, there are actually some types they need to avoid. Like us, plants create and store glucose for future use, but theirs is in the form of starch. All vegetables will have at least a little starch, but corn, winter squashes like butternut and pumpkin, potatoes, and peas are full of complex carbohydrates and may end up being counterproductive. Eat non-starchy vegetables instead. Popular choices include standard salad green mixes and toppings, such as lettuce, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, sprouts, and mushrooms. Artichokes and large shoots, like bamboo and asparagus, are also low on carbohydrates, as are zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, and virtually all peppers.
