Of course, it should be noted that the wrong kind of fat and a high calorie diet is what can be bad for you. While a lot of high quality fat and animal protein diet; and in the meantime having less calories and minimizing carbohydrate and sugar intake should be good for you.

The Okinawans used to get 80% of their calories from sweet potatoes. The Samurai apparently at closer to 90% of calories from sweet potatoes. It’s mostly fiber and water by weight. They fill you up so you’ll eat fewer calories. They are also only about 8% protein by caloric volume, which helps keep cancer risk low.

If you left out the protein powder, it would be even more healthful. Too much protein is a killer! Just look up what too much protein does to your kidneys just for starters (never mind how it contributes to so many other nasty degenerative health conditions). We need very little protein if truth be told. Nobody ever died from not enough protein since there is protein in everything. Millions have died from too much.

I am going through menopause and I did sweet papotes for 1 month now. This is what happened.

I'm cycling off keto and I've been eating prebaked, chilled sweet potatoes for 2, 3 weeks now. Good to know.

[@sftynet9440]

So ironic ! I have been on keto for about 7 weeks now and i'm having dull pain in my right side chest. Little scared but started reading and found that low blood sugar may cause this. Them I', likw, what can I do to add just a few carbs to my diet in hopes of eradicating this pain. Well out of the blue I thought I'm going to try Sweet Potatoes. Today I bought a couple, microwaved one and ate half of it after it cooled down. We'll see if this makes the pain subside some. I'm 68 yo man. 159 lbs (was 169, 8 weeks ago). 5'7". I notice a lot of improvements after keto but have been a little fatigued and have this pain. Thanks Thomas

[@carolynbailey4530]

Boil sweet potatoes for 45 minutes and discard the water to limit your oxalate intake. Plus boiling in water is a good way to limit the amount of sugar conversion. Baking converts the most starch to sugar, boiling converts the least.

[@rebeccabriggs2982]

I boil my potatoes and sweet potatoes then roast a bit. That way I reduce oxalates but get to eat roasted

[@uaigneach34]

Negligible difference for most people. If you are one of the rare individuals who are very sensitive to sugars then just eat other vegetables.

[@NaqshbandiNaqeebi]

Fun fact if you cook and cool down the sweet potato, it becomes a resistant starch , so 30% if the carbs become indigestible, yielding less carbs per sweet potato, and providing your gut buddies more fiber that they crave to produce more butyrate

[@mireilleanih2950]

So is it better to cook or cook in microwave

[@NaqshbandiNaqeebi]

@@mireilleanih2950 microwaving is Not a option as that denatures the food , if you want to eat it warm just stick it in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes, but eat them cold, taste so good. If you freeze them , not so they are hard but relatively cold all through it tastes like ice cream

Has anyone experienced gastric distress from Sweet Potatoes? I get very enthusiastic about it, as I do like them. But I just end up worse with IBS symptoms everytime I have them. Is there a know reason why a person would be sensitive to Sweet Potato?

Me. It took several weeks of eating Sweet Potatoes (Mostly Yams), but after about 3 weeks every time I ate Sweet Potatoes I would get severe stomach cramps.

[@JohnDoeMS]

Oxalates, sporamin, polyols, and also just the type of fibre in them is very irritating to me and many others

[@Annalwayslearning]

Insoluble fibre can be harder to digest… I stick to courgette, broccoli, asparagus, lettuce, celeriac etc as they are mostly soluble fibre and more gentle (for me at least!)

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Also important to note: food sensitivities are SO highly personal. We all have unique microbiomes and biochemistry. If something repeatedly worsens IBS symptoms, it’s probably best to avoid (at least for a while). Eggs and apples are two foods that don’t work well for me, but are staples in other people’s healthy diets. What’s healthy for one person, can be inflammatory for another. :)
