Hey Sarah! Your right! A sweet potato is a root, but it's classified the same on the Glycemic index. A sweet potato has tons of nutrients and can be a great source of carbohydrates. This particular diet approach is based of the ides that all humans were meant to eat only certain foods as we evolved as omnivore's. This mainly consists of foods we could have foraged for or killed with our bare hands. So technically a sweet potato is considered a root or tuber, however its a far stretch from the types our caveman ancestors would have enjoyed. These roots, like a sweet potato or turnip, are much more starchy. That being said you can make this diet work for you, most roots are typically excellent sources of indigestible fiber that help support the normal microbes of the intestinal tract, especially so if the skins and peels are eaten. The main thing I try to convince people of with this diet is that your food should be eaten fresh and raw or as close to raw as it can safely be consumed. Consuming processed foods is the easiest way I know to add extra sugar, fats, and salt to your daily diet. For additional reading I would refer you to a very well done paper on the Paleolithic (caveman) diet, you can find it here

Wait a sec (BTW, this is Sarah–Megan’s old college roomie), I thought sweet potatoes were not actually potatoes, AND that they were low on the glycemic index, AND that they were a miracle food. What’s up with that? Please do explain.

And I find you sight fascinating. Well done!

Thanks! I will plan on posting some programs focusing on getting back into shape. I recommend you switch the diet up first then we can focus on mixing in some light cardio and a push up routine. Take a look at my diet and the push up challenge.

Cool site! Although it might be helpful to recommend something for fat out of shape older people. I tried the steak recipe and was very good.

I’m trying to cut a little bit mainly on the midsection and on my back. But I’m also pretty active so I want to make sure I’m getting enough fuel to cover those burned calories so i’m not losing mass.
