Sweet potatoes are very popular down here in New Zealand, we call them kumara (which is a Maori word). They have low GI and so are an excellent carb for me as I am carb sensitive.
We do a favourite which is glazed, baked kumara in the oven with pineapple and brown sugar sprinkled on top (hmm, yes I suspect there is butter dotted on top too). Very delicious. It's a Xmas dinner favourite.
Mashed kumara is also delicious with a strong tasting cheese mashed in.

Yeah glazed kumara is certainly not an every day thing in my diet (being a. an endo and b. carb sensitive), actually in truth it's a once a year thing at Xmas really. But still delicious.
My personal trainer introduced the low GI/high GI carbs thing to me and it certainly seems to be an answer around my food and overeating issues. I get no cravings at all to overeat these days.
I've also read a book called Syndrome X which is about carb sensitive people like me I belive. Somewhere along the line the insulin pickup receptors on my cells don't work efficiently so I end up with way too much insulin running around inside me (esp. if I've eaten high GI stuff which produces an insulin surge). My trainer says the whole eating plan is around spending about year retraining my body and avoiding insulin highs or lows. Anyways it's interesting and it's working.
Regards Jill

Yeah well apparently it takes a while to retrain the body to use the fat stores for energy and not just the stomach food or something like that. I don't really understand it all but believe now that for me as an endo and carb-sensitive type , that this type of eating is a long term answer. Avoiding the insulin spikes and lows and keeping my blood sugar as balanced and even as possible is the way to do it over the long haul so I have been told.
But like you say it's one day at a time really. Proof is in the actions and I've eaten this way for 7 months now, I don't get cravings and don't feel deprived. It's not that weird really and isn't hard when we go out to eat. It's just how I am and food is just fuel today.
have a great day Tim, regards Jill from New Zealand
