The Top 4 Foods To Avoid If You Want To Be Healthy

I agree with that statement. Better off eating more protein, veggies and fruit than a bunch of starchy stuff. I was just making the statement that fruit is still just Fructose and don't overdo it in one sitting just because it's natural and "good for you."

I agree not to overdo it. It is still sugar. Most fruit however does contain a combination of sugars, not just fructose. I just didn't want someone to get the impression fruit shouldn't be eaten because it's sugar. With all the fiber, phytonutrients, micronutrients, and antioxidants fruit offers I think it's very important to include fruit in your diet.

What's wrong with starches? I personally enjoy having few potatoes here and there. Russet oven potatoes or oven sweet potatoes I think are good for you, am i wrong!!

There's nothing necessary 'wrong' with them, there are just more nutritious options. Starches get immediately converted to sugar by your body, they might as well be pure glucose.

White rice, white potatoes, etc don't offer much in the realm of micronutrients. Better choices would be plantains, yams, even bananas are pretty starchy and offer much more nutrition.

That being said, I do love a baked russet potato with grass-fed sour cream, grass-fed butter, chives, and pastured bacon on top!

Would you consider Yams= Sweet potatoes? Most markets in the USA have them listed as yams but they look and taste like sweet potatoes? I know some places in Asia and Latin America where the yams are almost my height and NOT an orange color!!! Also do you happen to have a decent (bodybuilder friendly) recipe for plantains? when I had them in latin america they were mostly FRIED.

I would consider yams and sweet potatoes the same thing.

I fry my plantains too, they're delicious. Nothing wrong with that. Put a little coconut oil or ghee in a pan, season the plantain slices with cinnamon, sea salt, cayenne, whatever you like.

This is actually the recipe I usually use, sometimes tweeked a little.
