4 Sweet Potato Recipes That Will Help You Lose Weight

Sweet potatoes are one of nature's greatest gifts. Not only are they versatile and filling, but these tubers are also literal superfoods. One medium-sized sweet potato is only 112 calories, has four grams of fiber, and contributes 368 percent of your recommended daily value of vitamin A. Roasted sweet potatoes make for a substantial breakfast or a sweet mid-day snack. If you want to push your sweet potato game to the next level, try these four recipes that are not only delicious but will also help you lose weight.
