I eat LOTS and TONS of potatoes, and my sugar numbers continue to be, as they have been all my life, perfect.

You can eat sweet potatoes/yams instead of the usual white potato. I love potatoes in every way, shape and form and eat them guiltlessly...just being careful about portion size. All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"

We talk about the benefits of sweet potatoes over white potatoes - more nutrition (and beta-carotene!) and helps with lasting energy rather than a spike and then a drop. This is helpful for people with diabetes or people watching their blood sugar. Jill Eckart PCRM

I like to stuff them with leftover soup and cooked beans at a 1:1 ratio. Served as a side, with a plate of steamed veggies, it is a very satisfying, high-fiber meal with lots of phyto's and antioxydants. www
