Do you guys, eat sweet potatoes?

[Stackedcop]

Love sweet potatoes I eat them with a little butter and Splenda!

[jim623]

LoL i dont. Was asking because I didn't understand why they are needed

I use wet paper towels on tamales but never thought about using one on a sweet potatoe.

mmm.. Tamales you say?

I made a sweet potatoe with banana the other night. Quite tasty.

I think next time I'll add walnuts, maple syrup and ground cloves. Possibly mascarpone rather than butter.
Thick cut bacon bits as well.

I think the result will be something similar to banana nut bread with bacon. Probably be tasty for breakfast and more paleo than oatmeal.

So what did you do with the sweet potato and banana? Did you mash and mix them together or something?

[jsmith767]

Heat sweet potato in microwave or over and mash it with a fork and then mash in a banana with it.

I haven't tried it, but I'll surely try it. looks good if I top it with butter. What do you think?

I do it the ultimate lazy way...I buy the cans of Bruce's Baked Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potato fries are the best btw.

Sweet potato is a GREAT source of natural potasium so you might actually be getting rid of some water. My joints already feel better when I use ONLY sweet potatoes as my carb source instead of a mixed one (Where I include white rice and popcorn post workout), so even if they do make me shed water, they still keep my joints nice and lubed.

I dont think you have anything to worry about

This thread makes me hungry

..on a sidenote...I like the way the site looks now. It's better and it looks neat than before

I cut mine into fries and dip them into melted marshmallows on days that I can have carbs. Pinch of cinnamon goes along ways too!

[AndrewMcInroy]

hell yeah sweet potatoes are an awesome pre-workout carb!

[Aisley]

Yes dear i like to eat sweet potatoes. It is my favorite food item specially in the evening. It is also good food before any workout because it has protein and iron which are good for body.

[NeoDil]

No way. They are DEFINITELY not paleo, and paleo is about the only diet out there with any decent science behind it.

[sparklepants]

I eat sweet potatoes all the time. they are low in fat and high in fast carbs, perfect pwo food!!

[adam2p2]

They are paleo, you nitwit. Did you read the John Berardi post?

[NeoDil]

Ummm...this is EXACTLY the reason so many of us girls (Jodi, me, atherjen, shehulk) left years ago. Keep your crappy attitude to yourself, mister. And I'm pretty sure you either a) misinterpreted Berard's post or b) are not understanding what we mean when we say 'paleo'!! Either way...

[sparklepants]

who cares everyone eating paleo is overweight anyway! and i dont know how anyone could believe them cavemen only lived like 20 years anyway! they couldnt be very healthy think about it!

[DeniseXan]

Adam's problem in understanding Paleo arises because he is still struggling to escape from Precambrio

[NeoDil]

HAHA!! BURN!!!

I used to eat a lot of sweet potatoes. I've gravitated toward regular potatoes anymore now a days.

I used to just mash them. Boil them with skins on, drain, mash up, throw in some splenda brown sugar mix and have at it. Simple and easy way to make carb dishes for a few days worth of meals. For some reason I can't quite explain I used to enjoy dipping apple slices in the mashed up potatoes. Was just one of those strange cravings I would go through from time to time.

yes i eat sweet potatoes and they are very delicious if you add some spice and lemon over them.. Also , every natural diet is good for your health
