10 Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes!
For a humble root vegetable, the sweet potato sure does have a lot going for it. The orange tuber packs 438% of your daily value of infection-fighting vitamin A and, like carrots, sweet potatoes are a major source of skin-protecting beta-carotene. While bananas are often touted as the go-to source of potassium, a medium sweet potato has 28% more potassium than a banana. (The mineral helps your body absorb fluids to replace sweat losses.)
Whether sweet potatoes only enter your kitchen on Thanksgiving or they have a regular spot in your cooking rotation, you could probably use more delicious ways to prepare them. Here are 10 recipes for dishes from fries to soup—each with about 300 calories or less.

Seriously?
Seriously?!
No! No you can’t! If you lose 1lb today, most of it will be water weight! You cannot lose 1lb of legitimate weight in one freaking day!
That is an unrealistic and unhealthy aspiration. Do yourself a favor and aim for something a lot more attainable. Like 1-2lbs a week.
Your body will thank you.
Absolutely correct, preach it, girl!

an average 2 year old…now to get somewhere between an average human leg and an elephant’s heart…
I’ve lost between an Irish Setter an a gold brick. Awesome.
The goal is to have lost between the complete Oxford English Dictionary and an average adult man.
That’s nuts. When I reach my goal weight (7lbs from being halfway there!), I will be less than half my starting weight.
