Excuse my naivety, but what are NightShades? Also the mention of sweet potatoes being borderline pale. I do enjoy sweet potatoes, is that something i could add back in slowly after the weight loss? Winter squash as in zucchini or yellow squashes? I usually like it dip zuc's in mayo or boil and mash with butter. In place of mashed potatoes, *boiled cauliflower works too* Thanks Trish On Mon, 27 Dec 1999 22:21:47 -0700 Lynnet Bannion <[log in to unmask]> writes: > Lauri Light wrote: > > > 1.
