Cheese and potatos

I don't know about you, but for years I wouldn't touch a potato and as much as I love cheese I knew it went straight to my ass. The truth is, potatos and cheese are not the enemy.
Potatos are a great source or potassium and much needed whole carbs and vitamins needed for energy and healing after a hard workout. The evil associated with potato is what we do to prepare them and eat them, the sour cream, and deep fat fried, the butter...
(a lot of frozen potato products like hashbrown and fries have been fried before they were freeze dried as well)
As an alternative bake your potato or microwave it for 6 mins, or even cut them into 2-3 inch chunks and flash boil them... Use olive oil spray and your favorite seasoning and voilá a healthy potato :-) if mashed potato is your favorite use skim milk, and Greek yogurt instead of butter.
Now, cheese... Mmmmmm...cheese *drool... Lol the key to enjoying cheese is to experiment, buy rich flavorful cheeses that satisfy your craving with a minimal amount. The cheese evil is the goo that comes from a can and the powder in your box of pasta, and the crap they use to coat your crackers and chips... Pure, whole, rich foods is the way to go... It is more satisfying and you end up eating less.... Happy eating!
