Default Silly Question I'm sure but....

Does anyone know if its ok to eat one sweet potato a day? I'm sooo in love with the Sweet Potato Fries that I have eaten them two days in a row now and honestly can see me eating them for 9 days str8 easily...I've decide to reduce the amt. of olive oil so they arent as fattening.

Will it affect my weight loss? Any views on this?

Thanks,
Liz

Well, I'm not a doctor or anything ... but, if something is on the list - and it is my understanding that sweet potatoes are - then I think you can eat it everyday as long as you eat a reasonable amount.

I'm glad you said you like sweet potato fries - I've not tried them yet - I'll have to do that soon.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves Sweet Potatoes. Growing up we only had them out of a can--Yuck! The first time I made them I peeled them, cubed them with a few white potatoes and carrots and baked them in some EVOO and garlic and herbs. I roasted them until they were all tender and I was in LOVE!!!!!!! The natural sweetness is so great you don't need all the syrup from the canned version. I saw eat and enjoy but just like anything don't overdo it!!

I'm sure it's fine to eat 1 sweet potatoe a day.

I freaking LOVE sweet potatoes. I usually mash them with a bit of cinnamon and a touch of vanilla flavoring.

I noticed everyone likes them sweetened...i like them peeled sliced like shoestring fries with a lil olive oil and salt and pepper baked in the oven til crispy...they are REALLY good that way...never had them with syrup or sugars.

Ok going to go prep them now for lunch lol!!!!

Not joking hehe
