Sweet potato is really helpful for losing weight. The calorie per 100g of sweet potato is only 99 calories, which is even less than 1/3 of that of white rice. And the fiber content of sweet potato is very high. We can feel full when we eat 100g sweet potato, but we can't feel full when we eat 200g rice. Sweet potato is low in cholesterol, sodium salt and saturated fatty acid, which is not only suitable for people who lose weight, but also suitable for people with three highs.
Then why do many people get fat when they eat sweet potatoes? This is probably because we ate sweet potatoes without reducing the amount of other staple foods, or simply eating too many sweet potatoes. Because you think a food is low in calories, you should eat a lot. This is a misunderstanding that many dieters will encounter. Eating too much of anything, even vegetables, will still lead to too many calories. Another point is that the cooking method of sweet potato is wrong. The best way to eat sweet potatoes is to steam them, or mix them with rice and cook them, instead of frying sweet potato balls, sweet potato cakes or drying them in the sun to make red French fries, which will increase calories.
Of course, compared with sweet potatoes, it is actually more recommended to eat purple potatoes during weight loss. The calorie of purple sweet potato is lower, with only 74 calories per100g, which is similar to the satiety of sweet potato. If you don't feel comfortable eating sweet potatoes, you might as well switch to purple potatoes. However, it should be noted that eating potatoes will reduce the intake of other staple foods.
Eating sweet potato to lose weight is a method recognized by many people, because sweet potato is a crude fiber food, which can better promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and inhibit the conversion of sugar into fat, which has a certain effect on weight loss. So it is liked by many dieters.
Many people who lose weight have heard that sweet potatoes can lose weight. As a result, they only eat sweet potatoes, test sweet potatoes, stir-fry sweet potatoes and draw red sweet potatoes a day. Actually, this is the most incorrect way. Science has proved that a person can't eat more than 200g of sweet potato every day, because if he eats too much, he won't digest it, and people with bad stomachs will have stomach acid and feel worse. In the 1970s, when food was scarce, one of my relatives had a swollen stomach because he ate too many sweet potatoes. The best time to eat sweet potatoes is at noon, and sweet potatoes are digested and absorbed for 4-5 times.
I think there are several reasons why eating sweet potatoes does not lose weight:
1. Eat sweet potatoes at the wrong time, and the amount exceeds the standard. People who lose weight eat sweet potatoes at noon, eat less or not at dinner, and eat too much nutrition at dinner will make them fat.
2. The sweet potato is not eaten correctly. Eating sweet potatoes mixed with other foods, or stewing or stewing meat or stewing gaba pot (stewed with sweet potatoes and ribs) will increase weight. Sweet potatoes are best boiled to lose weight.
After eating sweet potatoes, I don't take part in physical exercise, so I pin all my hopes on sweet potatoes. In fact, no matter what you eat, eat more and eat less, energy will be stored and weight will increase.
If you want to eat sweet potatoes to lose weight, and you can control your daily food intake, I suggest that you can cut sweet potatoes into small pieces to cook porridge, so that you won't lose control of the amount and get tired of eating. The effect will be obvious.
The road to losing weight is difficult. You can't just rely on diet control, but also rely on a lot of exercise to really lose weight.
