Sweet potatoes are a great source of nutrition. I used baked sweet potato fries to wean myself off of french fries and you can do the same to help transition to healthier eating.

How to prepare
Purchase raw sweet potatoes and slice them into fries. Season to taste with turmeric, iodized sea salt, black pepper, and/or other spices. Oven-bake the sweet potato fries instead of frying them to maintain the maximum nutritional benefits.
You can purchase ready-made all-natural sweet potato fries (with sea salt or black pepper). Be sure to read the label and avoid breaded, cheesy, artificially flavored and/or artificially colored fries.
For optimal fitness results, balance exercise with healthy nutrition and high quality sleep.
