First of all, we must understand that losing weight means reducing calorie intake. Let's have a look. Sweet potatoes and potatoes actually have lower calories than rice. Studies have shown that the calories of the same 100g sweet potato and rice are only one third of that of rice. Therefore, sweet potatoes and potatoes can replace rice as staple food, because they are both starchy foods.

Sweet potato is rich in dietary fiber, which contributes to intestinal peristalsis, helps the human body to digest, eat correctly and lose weight.

Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can replace the staple food, it is suggested that the staple food we usually eat is mainly cereals, because cereals contain many ingredients that sweet potatoes do not have. Our staple food can be changed from time to time, such as eating cereal for a while, eating sweet potatoes for a while, or mixing the two, half rice and half sweet potatoes to ensure a balanced nutrition.

For diabetics, potatoes are a good choice because their glycemic index is very low. But it is worth noting that if you have staple food and potatoes as non-staple food, you should control your consumption. If there are potatoes in non-staple food, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the consumption of rice to avoid excessive calorie intake.

Although sweet potatoes are good, they should be eaten correctly. If they don't eat correctly, they will gain weight:

1, don't treat them as snacks. Some people treat staple foods as snacks after eating them, which virtually increases calories. This is not the rhythm of losing weight, but the rhythm of gaining weight.

2, do not fry, they are high in calories and can be directly used as staple food. If you fire them again, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. After frying, the heat will rise.

The correct way to eat is steaming, which has low calories and good taste.
