Study Summary

The potato is a nutritious food that comprises approximately 30% of total vegetable intake in the United States (US). Consumption of pulses in the US is low but its contribution to health is frequently promoted. However, in the US diet, potatoes contribute as much dietary fiber, far more potassium, and a host of similar nutrients as pulses. When prepared to enhance its slowly digested starch content, potatoes produce a moderate glycemic response. In encouraging a shift towards plant-based foods and sustainable diets, the potato can partially replace meat in meat dishes to enhance the overall quality of the diet and reduce meat intake to recommended levels.

Primary Outcome

Change in area under the curve for blood glucose (mg/dL/min) concentration in response to the diet. Negative values are considered a better outcome.

Interventions

  • OTHER Reduced Meat High Potato Diet
  • OTHER Reduced Meat High Pulses Diet
