Why Sweet Potatoes Are Diet-Friendly
1. Low Glycemic Index
Despite being sweet, sweet potatoes have a moderate GI (around 63), meaning they don't spike blood sugar as much as regular potatoes.
2. High Satiety
The fiber and complex carbs keep you feeling full longer, reducing overall calorie intake.
3. Nutrient Dense
You get significant vitamins and minerals for relatively few calories.
4. Versatile
Can be used in sweet or savory dishes, from breakfast to dessert.
Sweet Potato vs Regular Potato
Best Ways to Prepare
- **Baked**: Most nutritious, no added fat
- **Mashed**: Add Greek yogurt instead of butter
- **Air-fried fries**: Crispy with minimal oil
- **In smoothies**: Adds creaminess and nutrients
Storage Tips
- Store in a cool, dark place (not refrigerator)
- Keeps for 2-3 weeks when stored properly
- Don't store near onions (they cause faster spoilage)
