Potatoes

Recommended Posts

I can see how sugar deserves it's own reintroduction phase (if you choose to "go there") but what about potatoes? I don't mean french fries or anything but a baked red potato or something, Not sure I could eat potatoes for 3 meals a day - would it be "non gluten grains" day even though it's not a grain?

White potatoes are part of the nightshade family so some people react to that. The reason they are excluded from the program is primarily because of the way they are viewed in our society as chips and fries etc. I have no problem including potato in my post-w30 life but I try not to use that as justification for buying chips and fries all the time. More that if I get them in my CSA I eat them happily. They are not as nutrient dense as other vegetables but they are not devoid of nutrients either. I'm not sure they really have a sugar dragon component - but I don't struggle with the sugar dragon. I struggle with the crispy salty dragon thus why I have to be careful with the chips/fries.
