Do you stay away from potatoes?
Mashed potatoes are dinner almost every night in my house because it's my daughter's favorite.
Should I be eating an alternative to sway pink?

Potatoes are totally fine on LE as are mashed potatoes as long as you stay within limits.

Eat up! I had potatoes often when I was on the LE diet. Staying in the limits with anything you eat is the key.
Enjoy!

Thanks for your replies! I read potatoes = boy on other sites! I need to figure out the limits though, not use to counting things!

Foods by themselves don't sway. Overall diet matters. Limits are 1500-1800 cals, 30-60g fat, 50-60g protein. Don't count the protein or fat in fruits and veggies. Low carb veggies are free foods, meaning don't count cals/fat/protein. Mashed potatoes you'd obviously count fat if you're adding butter or margarine to it. Don't cout protein for potatoes.

Thanks! I thought mashed potatoes were too high in potassium. However, I conceived my daughter eating lots of sweet potatoes which has higher potassium!!

Potatoes are fine on LE Diet. My daughter is like 30% potato!
The ONLY reason why potatoes were ever said to sway is because on the old school sway diets claimed (without any real data, either) that potassium swayed blue but at the same time they were ingesting tons and tons of dairy foods with tons and tons of potassium in them. In order to both eat tons of dairy and also limit potassium, they basically HAD TO cut out all potassium foods. But on LE Diet you are not doing the tons of dairy and are NOT getting gobs of potassium from that and may even have a hard time getting enough potassium. (because everyone needs 2500-3500 mg a day, this is the amount you need for your body to function adequately)!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!
