    I hear tell that you can make some with jicama

    I have never tried it though

    But you could try, just stay waaaayyy away from those potato version you don't need those.

      Has anyone tried the low carb potatoes yet? The brand is Sunlite. They're still 18 carbs compared to 33 in a regular potato. I've been having one a day on the week ends. I think they taste better than other potatoes.

      But, yeah ...... you can supposedly make jicama into fries.

        We went for a long scooter ride today, and the weather was overcast, windy and a little bit of rain. By the time we got to where we were going I was cooooooold! We went to a pub for lunch and I was really sad that I couldn't just order a big juicy burger with FRIES!! Nice hot food to sustain me on the ride home! Somehow a salad did not appeal.

        But, we did get a caesar salad and a cajun salmon filet, which was hot and spicey, so I got warmed back up again.

        It's been over a year, and I still have my moments..ah well...

          Go for a run, or a brisk walk. That will kill your appetite.

            {{{Self}}} Eat something high-fat and low-carb. The feeling will pass! You're looking so good! Those fries want to be your friend but you know they just want to make you feel bad!

              :yes Jicama (Yam Bean, MexicanTurnip)
              I like jicama fries. Just peal the jicama and slice it in fry pieces. Put onion or garlic piece in with the jicama. It is a different tast and texture but it satisfies the urge to have a fry. Or you could try the french fried raddishes or turnips.

                    if you get young ones you can make turnip fries or radish fries. Jicama fries will stay crunchy and not goive you the mouth feel of french fries. Some low carbers swear by cauliflower fries with a hot spice mix tossed on.

                      yeah i heard turnips make a great replacement for potatoes - fries, hashbrowns, etc.

                      I'd say, drink some water, go for a walk, try eating something else (like string cheese or sauteed mushrooms) and fight that craving!
