How To Prepare<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes contain resistant starch, but that the latter has more antioxidants and fiber than the former and have a slightly lower calorie amount.<\/p>\n

However, this depends on how they are prepared, it can make or break the nutritional profile of either potato.<\/p>\n

Sweet potatoes either in fry form or with added high-calorie toppings such as bacon have little positive effect in your weight loss goals.<\/p>\n

Instead, try steaming or roasting your sweet potatoes with a bit of cinnamon.<\/p>\n

The combination of these two together with healthy portion control and regular exercise offer a delicious option that is satisfying without compromising weight loss goals.<\/p>\n
