sweet potatoe alternative

Hi guys ive been dieting now solid for almost 3 weeks. i just wanted to know if there is any alternative to sweet potatoe???????? everytime i eat it i want to throw up i just cant keep it in. please help. the quicker you guys respond the quicker i can do something about this :sick: thanks guys!

Normal potato, brown rice,basmati rice, brown basmati rice,oats, rice cakes.

I know what you mean bro! When I started out I thought sweet potatoes are a gift from the gods to those who diet. Now I struggle to get them down. While we are on the topic I thought we could share some ideas on what you guys like to do with your Sweet Potato to make it interesting?
I like to scrape out the insides and make mashed sweet potato. Then I combine cinnamon and sweetener and sprinkle it generously. It's delicious but it gets old quickly.

ever try sweet potatoe pancakes?

Try roasting in the oven with some thyme rosemary salt and pepper or what i also do is coat the potato pieces in some dry mieliemiel (dry pap mixed with nutmeg salt pepper and other spices)) then roast with a little olive oil and it makes it very crunchy.

Hope it helps bud.

think we should start a series called 'cooking with greg'. ill film it, but then i want half the profits

wtf sweet potatoe pancakes! how does that taste ?

tastes goooood. i posted the link to the video. look up

Normal potato and perhaps brown buns. I know Albany sells those brown buns in 6 packs and they provide nutritional info with it!

Try cous cous. According to DJ its a complex carb, and per 100g it has 340 calories, 12g of Protein and 70g of carbs. Easy to eat as well and very easy to prepare.

Hardly eat sweet potato but may be a welcoming change, from rice. How do you prepare your sweet potato? Microwave?

microwave, oven, pretty much how you would prepare regular potatoe. id go with the oven. boiling it tastes like ass

Sweet potato also take quicker to cook.

Great. Do you think its more affordable than brown rice?

if money is an issue go for oats. definitely my favourite complex carb. and you can get a kg of the stuff for around 20 bucks

Money is fine, just need variety.

Oats with chicken or fish - yuck MRfeathers. You're into some weird shit :silly:

Put food in mouth, swallow with water. Repeat.

Problem solved...

ha ha i love oats. with a scoop of chocolate whey! its the shit. i can eat it all day. but to be honest i have potatoe with my dinner. so im not completely off the wall

Just got myself some SASKO LOW GI SEEDED buns!

Per serving:

Protein: 7.9g
Carbs: 27g
fats: 4.3g
Fibre: 5.1g

Take the bun, put lettuce on it, two chicken fillets and a drop of Jalopeno sauce! Hmmmmm

Shot for the replies guys! Just something that pops to mind- if you cook whey protein then you basically kill the protein. I used to make these delicious protein muffins (and there's nuffin like a good muffin!) but then that ended cause you have to microwave it.

This is golden. I sometimes brush the potato wedges with olive oil and swap the freshly milled pepper for chilli flakes or peri peri.

You can make mashed potato too, I used to add cottage cheese and fresh pepper. awesome. you have to find a ratio of s.pot to cheese you like

Should start a thread on 'meal ideas' this is good stuff. Lol

Just thought of one more - BANANAS
