TosinOc Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey guys, on day 7 of whole 30 and breastfeeding my 9 month old son! After lots of apprehension about my milk supply I decided to go for it. Result after 7 days is INCREASED milk production and my son sleeping through the night! Yay! Okay question, can I have yam on w30? Not sweet potatoes but the big long tubers with a bark like skin popular in Caribbean and African cooking. Thanks!

jessicav Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Did your son start sleeping through the night on his own after doing the program for awhile? That's my fantasy result. My twins are almost 9 months and both wake up 3 times a night (at least:( ). Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katiew822 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sweet potatoes/yams saved me today! Baked them in the oven with some EVOO, salt, and paprika and it was SO good. Definitely helped me feel excited at the end of a tired Day 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwisley Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The yams she's talking about are NOT the yams you're thinking of! We use both names for essentially the same thing here, but the Caribbean yam is totally different! I don't know about its compliance or not, but it's NOT the same.

You are correct mr wisley, Caribbean yams are not the same as sweet potatoes or American "yams" but lucky us, all of these are allowed during a whole30.

praxisproject Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Purely a curious question, but looking at some pictures of Caribbean yams, are they related to the Asian taro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Found purple sweet potatoes at Sprouts. It made a very colorful plate of roasted veggies with golden beets and orange carrots. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraHaley Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Roasted yams with Frank's Red Hot is my favorite thing to eat when I'm feeling especially hungry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
