Use sparingly or avoid?

I see that Alicia really promotes sweet potatoes, but other macrobiotic websites says to use it sparingly or avoid? Are sweet potatoes okay to eat with a macrobiotic diet?
I think it's regular potatoes you are supposed to avoid, because they are nightshades. I'm not macro though, so I can't be 100% sure.
Hi Smurfy thanks! No worries, that's what i was thinking too ;)
I don't think it's a huge deal. If you follow the superhero diet, you probably don't need to worry too much about strict macrobiotics (unless you want to). I like that the superhero diet is all about moderation, and I'm pretty confidend that you can get all sorts of great benefits with it--and no need to go hardcore macrobiotic. To me, superhero is doable, not faddy, and stays away from making any outrageous claims, so I find it to be a perfect fit.
