I thought I was on track with food choices and label reading. I bought some Alexia frozen sweet potato fries because I saw them in a post. Well, I didn't do enough research, because I didn't read the older threads that said there were 2 varieties. Of course, I messed up and got the DELICIOUS, UNAPPROVED kind. I ate some over the weekend. The reason I dug deeper this morning is because I kept thinking they tasted too good to be approved.

I hope I didn't do too much damage. My DH is trying to stick to SBD with me. My 16-month old loved them...I guess she will have to finish the bag.

I LOVE sweet potatoes and am now on the hunt for an approved frozen version. Hopefully, I will find the Ian's brand that some ladies mentioned.

Please let me know if you guys have suggestions for any other SBD approved sweet potato products/recipes.

Hi,


Even after almost 4 years of being on South Beach, I also bought the wrong Alexa Sweet Potato fries.

I am much lazier than you guys! I will try making my own this weekend...experimenting with some different seasonings.

I usually like sweet vs. savory on sweet potatoes. What type of seasoning do you normally use?

I just use pepper and olive oil, paprika, maybe a little oregano. Leila

I bought those too! I didn't even know there were gold sweet potatoes. I tried to give them to my kids but they said they are yucky. I hate wasting food!
