Roxc779 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 We are on day 6 and doing great! We have been eating sweet potatoes and Japanese yams but my husband is not a fan of the sweet potatoes. Can we eat russet potatoes? I don't have it listed in my "approved" foods list and can't find reference to them in the book but I did see a recipe on the Whole 30 Instragram site. This could be a game changer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 yup. All potatoes are fine, as long as they are not commercially prepared fries or chips. Potatoes: Yes! We changed the official Whole30 rules in August 2014 to include all varieties of potatoes—white, red, Yukon gold, purple, fingerling, baby, sweet potatoes, yams, etc. Feel free to boil, bake, roast, pan-fry, grill, microwave, or steam them, but no commercially prepared or deep-fried potato chips or French fries. (That’s completely against the spirit of the Whole30.) Tip: White potatoes pack a whole lot of energy into a relatively small package. If you’re overweight, insulin-resistant or otherwise metabolically challenged, and not very active, you don’t need a lot of extra energy on your daily plate. If this is your context, use white potatoes sparingly in your Whole30 meal plan, if at all. Plus, if you eat mashed potatoes with every dinner, you’ll miss out on a world of colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables to explore. Bust out of your potato rut and discover a newfound love of Brussels sprouts, asparagus, or kale! - See more at: http://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/#sthash.vwKuhLnf.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
