How is it that a sweet potato is so much better then a normal potato? Like soooo much better then a normal potato!! Dinner tonight (which I don't think my brother was too keen on...no meat) was half a sweet potato with parley, sundried tomato's, olives and feta. Holy sweet potato, it was good.
In my training group, clean eating is always a big topic of conversation. There is one guy who trains with us who loves sweet potato...I'm talking eating it 2-3 times a day. The orange colour of the sweet potato is due to the beta-carotene in the vegetable. This guy was telling us he went to the doctors one day and his doctor had said wow your looking very tan at the moment (middle of winter). Have you been on holidays or had a fake tan...no to both.
So he was sent for a blood test to make sure it wasn't Jaundice. The results came back and his levels of beta-carotene were almost 200x the normal levels. His love for sweet potato had turned him orange! Needless to say this is now a running joke which is brought up almost weekly!
