    the sugars in sweet potatos ?

    do the sugars in sweet potatos effect cutting ? i mean are they simple sugars that should be avoided ?

    sweet potatoes are a complex carb and very low on the GI scale. Fine for cutting if used as part of a well planned diet.

    Yeah..I've asked this question before and got the same type of response. No one seemed to think it was bad. Low GI-sure..but it contains sugar much like fruit..low GI with sugar.

    Yep. I think mine got a few responses. Im actually cooking on right now

    I came to the conclusion that they were fine since I saw that Pinnacle used them pretty much exclusively for his carb source..as well as WEBB..and those are 2 huge dudes that seem to have an idea what theyre doing
