Some people who are trying to lose weight mistakenly believe that they cannot eat starch, otherwise their weight loss efforts will be ruined. In fact, nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that sweet potatoes are non-refined starch foods and are especially rich in fiber, with 2.4 grams of fiber per 100 grams, which is very eye-catching among starchy foods. The recommended daily fiber intake for Chinese people is about 28 grams. Just by eating a 200-gram sweet potato every day, you can get 4.8 grams of fiber, which can be said to be easy to obtain.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that sweet potatoes are a starchy food with high nutritional value, a low GI value, and are rich in fiber. They can replace the original staple foods such as rice, bread, and toast with lower nutritional value. However, do not use sweet potatoes as a main meal just to lose weight. Often, you will not feel full after eating one, and the calories will be too high if you eat two. You must pay special attention.

Sweet potato peel can be eaten. It is rich in polysaccharides such as mucus protein, which can lower blood cholesterol, maintain blood vessel elasticity, and prevent cardiovascular diseases such as vascular sclerosis and hypertension. Sweet potato leaves contain more antioxidants than sweet potato flesh, can remove cancer-causing oxidative free radicals, and are a good anti-cancer food.
