Re: Veggies Question
I hate to tell you this but it is up there on the glycemic index with the white potato and corn flakes. You probably won't be able to have it again until maintenance.

Re: Veggies Question
Yeah but a sweet potato is still a potato...and a sweet one. I don't know what rung it is on but it is pretty up there too. What rung are you on?Comment

Re: Veggies Question
The DANDR lists turnip - by which is meant the one that is white. Rutabega is the yellow fleshed one and that one is much more carby. I ate turnip in induction. I like it baked with oil drizzled over it - sort of baked French fry style.Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: Veggies Question
Oh wow, I didn't know that. I don't eat it so maybe I didn't notice it. Definitely go by the book, not by me!Originally posted by elissa123 View PostComment

Re: Veggies Question
I guess I misinterpret the "it" in your sentence. However as I read it in my book sweet potato cannot be added until rung 8 (starchy vegetables)Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"
