Please refer to my daily journal under McFruitarian Journal 2012 in the journals forum.
I have questions though :
Are there any daily restrictions for eating sweet potato? For me, grilled sweet potato is as sweet as a banana. So if fruit name should be limited to 2 serving per day, why not sweet tomatoes ? Is it ok to eat the skin of the grilled potatoes?
Refer to my journal, here are responses to your questions and proposals:
As of today, I stopped eating oats. Today, I had sweet potato for breakfast.
Unless hunger strikes, I am restricting my intake to 3 servings per day. Starting today, I carry with me grilled sweet potato so it is ready when hunger strikes. I will experiment with this for a week.
I have been swimming daily for 3 years now. My running is still limited to short distances 5km for few times a week. Actually, I was thinking of intensifying my runs to 10km and then 21 km over the coming month. At the moment, I do not sweat with 5 km as I am used to long distance running ( 21 km, 42 km, and 50 km).

Wow - I didn't think about this. Has anyone else had any problems with eating oats? I may need to cut back on them, as well!

I don't think oats are universally "bloaty." I eat them for breakfast daily and have for the past 2 years. I occasionally will have them for a late-evening snack as well. The problem may occur if many large helping are consumed in a single day...

I,after a couple of weeks on the diet,following it strictly,and certainly not eating unlimited amounts,stood on the scales this morning to find that I had put on 2lbs.I was running about all over the place yesterday
and burning off what little I thought I had eaten and ...that's right...I put on 2lbs. Now at a quick calculation that's about 4000-5000 calories.All I could think was...what?It all seemed to good to be true and it's beginning to look as if,with all things that fall into that category,it is.Please somebody tell me that this just some kind of 'start up' problem.Also my sleep has gone to hell.Tossing and turning all night.Any ideas?
