3. Sweet Potato
Potatoes are a commonly maligned source of simple carbs, meaning that the sugar is released readily, resulting in a sudden rush of energy that can result in fat storage.
Potatoes aren’t all bad though and they contain a lot of important nutrients, including the likes of starch and of course vitamin C. But if you want the best of both worlds, then consider eating sweet potatoes instead.
Not only do these contain all the same benefits, but they are also slower to release their sugar and thus less likely to lead to a rush of insulin. Sweet potato fries are a great alternative to regular fries!
