Todd,

Thanks.  Good to know.  About sweet pototoes though:
my understanding was that they weren't really paleo,
since they need to be cooked to be eaten.  Won't all
the reasons grains are bad also apply to them?  I know
Cordain says they should be restricted on the Paleo
diet.  Of course, having them 4 or 5 times a week
(pre-workout) probably wouldn't hurt, but I was hoping
for a purely paleo solution. Maybe there isn't one?

Let me know what you think.
