Our former officemate became fat when she was transferred to another company . I haven’t seen her for about 4 months and was so surprised to see her fat and with a bit of a protruding stomach already .
But after some more months , she was back to her slim self. And she said , she substituted her rice with sweet potato instead , to go with her viand . Of course she also cut the portions of what she ate and did some exercising .
And she achieved that after 3 months .
What I noticed whenever I eat sweet potato in lieu of rice at dinner was that the next day , I really have to go early to the john .
Not to mention that the sweet potato is delicious .

@enlightenedpsych2 I never asked or know my blood type. I should ask the doctor next time I go. I get my blood drawn pretty often, just never asked.

@Letranknight2015 Yes try it . Buy a kilo , boil them nicely . Then peel them all , slice them and put them in a container and out it at the fridge . At anytime , you have a ready camote . It's delicious to go with a dish even when it's cold . Eat two small ones only and your dish a small portion only .

Yeah, sweet potato does have an effect on our digestion 
I think white rice is the one that contains more carbohydrates. Brown rice has more fiber, I think. They say it's better and healthier than white rice. If you don't want to replace rice with potatoes or other veggies, go for brown rice.

Sweet potatoes look simple but have great health benefits including 'going early to the john' as they are filled with fibre.

Sweet potato that is bit tasty to.. I hope there would not be any health side effects.. still to stay healthy is the best option. Rice most of the diabetics patients do find a substitute for it.. any how it is better to see a person in normal size... usually I had seen those fat are considered to have some or other sort of health defects even though they do not have much. It seems being fat had made as a symbol of being unhealthy.

That is true . For some people their being so fat could be the side effect of hormonal imbalance or some ailments like hypothyroidism.
But for the diabetics , they are advised to use the brown rice . Though , eating should always be in moderation .

Interesting? So do you think it was the switch to sweet potatoes or the exercise and the cutting of her portions that resulted in the weight loss?

I do not have much liking for sweet potato.
I love sweet potato leaves more than sweet potato.
If you do not want to gain weight and still eat rice, you can try the brown rice.
They tend to fill you yet have lesser calories because it is less processed than white rice.

@SIMPLYD We prefer hot dogs in a bed of rice over a bun that is designed for eating hot dogs.

It has lesser calories than rice as what @LadyDuck commented . I think it's sugar content is not that much also because if it does have much then you will get fatter .
Though , it should be eaten in smaller portion , and in addition do some exercises and dieting .

There is a negative side effect with Sweet potatoes though. You will be farting a lot. I had a 6 month sweet potato diet when I was 17 because I was homeless and I runaway from my parents. Oh my all the gas I produced.....

Really !
I usually eat sweet potato in the morning and at night . Luckily , i don't fart . Maybe it's because i go to the comfort room early morning thus , less content on the stomach when i eat it again for breakfast .

@Kikijoyce If rice is your staple food that goes with the dish for the meal , then you substitute it with sweet potato . Just a small piece will do because anyway you have your dish . Also try to exercise everyday at least 30 minutes and cut your portions of what you eat .

My friend's tummy became big that's why she decided to lose weight and replaced her rice with sweet potato . Now , she's slim again , and she doesn't eat sweet potato anymore , though very small amount of rice only .
