[3 benefits of sweet potatoes for weight loss]:

1. Low in calories and high in satiety

Every 100 grams of sweet potato contains only 0.2 grams of fat, which is 1/4 of white rice. Therefore, sweet potatoes are the best low-calorie, low-fat foods. In addition, the high fiber content makes sweet potatoes quite filling, making them a good weight loss food whether used as a staple food or a side dish.

2. Rich in nutrients

Sweet potatoes also contain balanced nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, cellulose, and more than 10 trace elements such as potassium, iron, and copper. Among them, cellulose has a good stimulating effect on intestinal peristalsis and can promote smooth excretion.

3. Prevent sugar from turning into fat

Because the fiber structure cannot be absorbed in the intestine, it has the special function of preventing carbohydrates from turning into fat. Therefore, nutritionists call sweet potatoes the most nutritionally balanced health food, and an ideal and affordable weight loss food.

Sweet potato oat milk is rich in dietary fiber, which can increase satiety and is a good food for weight loss.
