Healthy afternoon
Yes , besides their health benefits, sweet potatoes are great additions to any weight loss diet . They are very high fibre - especially soluble fibre.
Soluble fibre is excellent because it slows down digestion and helps you feel full , which can help can curb the urge to snack between meals
Sweet potatoes are very low calorie, so they can be included in a weight-loss diet

If your blood sugar is under control then it’s ok to eat
Sweet potato is good for your gut biome and muscle recovery and can be eaten on a weight loss diet along with adequate exercise .
