Having a roast tomorrow. No potatoes so I thought is I'd have parsnips. I've just been googling them and apparently they are high GI and very carby. How does everyone else get on with parsnips?

It's just not fair. I miss parsnips.
 
Hmm. Maybe I'll try just a little bit & see what happens.
 
Mark, seriously, don't do it. They are packed full of sugar, deadly, honest.
 
Oh well. More for the wife then.🙂
 
100gms Aunt Bessie's roast parsnips- cooked is 26gm carbs.

It's one of the trade offs you need to make. I do have some but we are talking about 25-30gms and some gravy.

Not done my BG much harm although my readings are about 2.5 higher than my beforehand figure.
 
Roast some sweet potatoes instead - despite the name, they're actually around a third of the carbs of regular potatoes
 
I am having sweet potatoes 🙂.
