    in what world could a sweet potato be evil?

    sweet potatoes are crazy good for you, just be sensible about how you prepare them. personally i make homemade sweet potato fries in bacon fat and covered with spices/cinnamon.

    delish.

    Even if the glycemic index wasn't a terribly outdated, flawed concept (which it is since nobody fasts for 12 hours then eats only a carbohydrate), why would the sweet potato be a problem?

    I eat sweet potatoes in almost everything that you would eat a regular potato, including mashed with garlic and salt. Yum!

    Delicious cubed and roasted, or just baked. I prefer mine with a healthy portion of (Kerrygold) butter.

    So don't do it.

    I mean it. I'm watching you.)

    I presume you're an intermittent faster, in which case if you don't eat meals which consist of protein, carbs, fat and fibre then you're a special case indeed.

    I sometimes eat a banana an hour or so before dinner.

    Bloody hell, I knew I was special.

    WAIT A MINUTE! Why are we leaving Russel Russet out of this equation he is just as satisfying and healthy as his good two shoes sister, Sweet Potato.

    Come on guys lets not discriminate.

    Oh and dont forget Yardly Yam the neglected cousin.

    My son says sweet potatoes are the potatoes that come to the party even when they aren't invited. I think they're okay, but only with spicy or savory stuff to offset some of the sweetness.

    I often have them, but actually find them much less filling than baked white potato, which can keep me full for up to five hours with a healthy topping. Sweet potatoes seem to leave me much hungrier. Very nutritious though, the Okinawans, who had the largest percentage of centenarians at one point, ate a lot of sweet potatoes in their fairly high carbohydrate diet.
