More satiety: It should be noted that potatoes and sweet potatoes are staple foods. Eating too much will increase calorie intake, which will make you fat in the long run. No food is born with the effect of "losing weight" or "gaining weight". Losing weight or gaining weight depends on "how much to eat" and "how to eat". In developed countries like the United States, the consumption of potatoes has been decreasing in the past decades, but the weight has not decreased significantly.
In the past 50 years, the consumption of fresh potatoes has been reduced by half, but the consumption of processed potato products such as frozen French fries has increased. This reflects the change of diet structure from "whole food natural food" to "processed food" with the development of economy. So potatoes themselves are not accomplices to obesity, but some potatoes (such as French fries and potato chips) are.
Eat more natural foods and less processed potato products, such as mashed potatoes, French fries, potato chips, shredded sweet potatoes and fried sweet potato strips. Eat one medium-sized potato or sweet potato at a time. Don't eat staple food at the same time. Avoid the combination of baked sweet potato+noodles or shredded sweet potato+rice. No food itself is unhealthy or does not gain weight. "Eating a certain amount of fat" or "eating super food that can make you thin" is not credible. Summer is here, and you can see fresh potatoes in the market soon. I hope everyone can eat potatoes healthily.
