Sweet potatoes have long been known as a "golden" food in the diet thanks to their high fiber content, low in calories but still full for a long time. According to Harvard Health Publishing, sweet potatoes have a high satiety index but do not cause a spike in blood sugar like white rice or banh mi.
The 7-day sweet potato weight loss diet takes advantage of this property to help reduce cravings, while supporting digestion and eliminating excess fat.
Recipes for weight loss with sweet potatoes in 7 days:
- Breakfast: 1 boiled sweet potato + 1 glass of warm water mixed with lemon (no sugar)
- Lunch: 1/2 bowl of brown rice + 1 steamed sweet potato + boiled and chicken breast/ lean pork
- Dinner: 1 baked sweet potato + non-fat vegetable soup
Do it continuously for 5 - 7 days, combine drinking enough 2 liters of water/day and doing light exercise such as walking, yoga.
Note:
Do not eat fried, stir-fried or with sugar, butter, or condensed milk.
People with stomach pain should eat steamed sweet potatoes thoroughly, not eat them when hungry.
After 7 days, you should switch to a balanced diet to maintain effectiveness.
Research from Nutrition Research and Practice shows that people who eat sweet potatoes instead of white rice for 7 days can lose an average of 2 - 3kg without causing fatigue.
