oh my god. i love sweet potato chips. i know they're a little sinful but in strict moderation i don't think they will affect my blood sugar as much as a couple regular potato or corn chips becasue of their lower GI and GL. any ideas about this would be appreciated. does anyone else have a weak spot for these things?

oh and i live in portland oregon. we have Burgervilles here and they have sweet potato fries. dang! it's so hard to stay away from that place. but i do! dang!

I eat the sweet potatoe chips when I really need a chip fix and although I don't gain anything, I don't lose when I have them, even in moderation. But that's actually fine with me because when the chip fix calls, it's great to have a safer, wonderful tasting item to eat that doesn't spike my insulin levels.

OMG, tuna salad and sweet potatoe chips. Love it!

wow that sounds so good

and i know what you mean.
even though my metabolism is crap I actually can handle medium GI foods really well. My problem is when i get out of control. but i do pretty well as long as i can have these little pleasures every once in a while. keeps the real cravings at bay.
