It\u2019s important to note that there are several variations of this diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_nothing_but_sweet_potatoes_all_day\"><\/span><b>Eat nothing but sweet potatoes all day<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this variation, people eat only sweet potatoes throughout the day while avoiding all other types of food. They can either be mashed, boiled, or baked. They can also have unsweetened coffee, tea, and water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Very_low-calorie_diet\"><\/span><b>Very low-calorie diet<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This version is slightly more flexible than the previous one. You can incorporate some vegetables and protein options, but the calorie intake for this should remain quite low. This eating plan will have you eating only boiled eggs, blanched vegetables, and sweet potatoes each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replace_all_carbs_with_sweet_potatoes\"><\/span><b>Replace all carbs with sweet potatoes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the original version of the sweet potato diet. The creator of this eating plan created a 14-day menu that required participants to replace all their carbohydrates with sweet potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Followers of this eating plan were required to eat a sweet potato at every major meal &#8211; breakfast, lunch, and dinner &#8211; and they could have several healthy snacks throughout the day. This way of eating promised that participants would lose weight and have more energy without sacrificing their beloved carbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_3-Day_Sweet_Potato_Diet_Healthy\"><\/span><b>Is the 3-Day Sweet Potato Diet Healthy?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it isn\u2019t. As demonstrated above, none of the variations of this eating plan provide all the calories or nutrients you need. Any sweet potato diet that follows the above rules can be considered a fad diet.

If left unchecked, they can damage body cells, including triggering cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3249911\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_help_control_blood_sugar_levels\"><\/span><b>May help control blood sugar levels<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is particularly beneficial to people with high blood sugar.

Therefore, those who are struggling with this could be encouraged to have at least a serving of sweet potatoes a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, consistent consumption of this food item could potentially help lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A study done in 2018 revealed that people who have a higher intake of dietary fiber are at a relatively lower risk of type 2 diabetes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5883628\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_reduce_the_risk_of_certain_types_of_genetic_diseases\"><\/span><b>May reduce the risk of certain types of genetic diseases<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, sweet potatoes have antioxidants that help fight off free radicals. They\u2019re also an excellent source of beta-carotene. Purple sweet potatoes are high in anthocyanins, which could help slow the growth of certain types of genetic disorders (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9495970\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improve_digestion_and_bowel_movement\"><\/span><b>Improve digestion and bowel movement<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foods that are high in fiber help prevent constipation and promote regular bowel movement, which makes for a healthy digestive tract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotes_better_eye_health\"><\/span><b>Promotes better eye health<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As stated above, this starchy carb is incredibly rich in beta-carotene.

When it\u2019s ingested, the beta-carotene is turned into vitamin A, which supports the cornea&#8217;s function, allows the eye to see in low-light conditions, and prevents eye-related diseases (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/326758\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boosts_immunity\"><\/span><b>Boosts immunity<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 cup of boiled sweet potatoes contains 31.8 mg of vitamin C (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/168484\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). People with high levels of vitamin C in their blood could be at a lower risk of stroke, pneumonia and lung infections, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammation.

Here\u2019s how the sweet potato diet could help you lose weight:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_you_full_for_longer\"><\/span><b>Keep you full for longer<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As seen above, 1 medium-sized sweet potato has 3.9 g of fiber. High-fiber foods are low in calories, keep you from being constipated, control blood sugar levels, and give you a sense of satiety. They reduce levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, increase the production of hormones such as cholecystokinin that make you feel full, and help slow down digestion (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menshealth.com\/weight-loss\/a26358675\/sweet-potato-weight-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you feel satiated, you\u2019re less likely to snack. While snacking can be good when you eat the right food, more often than not, many of us consume snacks with empty calories or forget to keep track of these smaller foods and drinks, which leads to us exceeding our recommended energy intake for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study involving 345 people that was conducted in 2019 proved that a high-fiber diet that maintained the minimum macronutrient intake (of carbs, fat, and protein a day) and energy intake promoted weight loss in obese and overweight people (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31174214\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Low_in_calories\"><\/span><b>Low in calories<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When dieting, many people tend to remove carbohydrates from their daily eating habits in the belief that they\u2019re automatically high in calories. While being classified as starchy carbs, sweet potatoes prove that this isn\u2019t always true. A 114 g sweet potato only contains 103 calories, which is fewer than a cup of whole milk (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fatsecret.com\/calories-nutrition\/usda\/sweet-potato?portionid=59348&amp;portionamount=114.000&amp;frc=True\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Appetite-suppressant\"><\/span><b>Appetite-suppressant<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water is a natural appetite suppressant, and a 5-inch sweet potato contains 100 g of water. This helps suppress your appetite through the additional water content in your diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/424496-sweet-potato-and-weight-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_are_low-glycemic_index_foods\"><\/span><b>They are low-glycemic index foods<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating high-glycemic index (GI) foods such as refined grains, starches, and sugars is associated with regular weight gain. Conversely, a low-GI diet may be useful for promoting and helping maintain weight loss. To maintain the low GI of sweet potatoes, it\u2019s best to eat them after boiling instead of baking, roasting, or frying them (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/sweet-potato-glycemic-index\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=3_day_sweet_potato_diet\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/18.png\" alt=\"3 day sweet potato diet\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sample_of_a_Healthy_3-Day_Sweet_Potato_Diet\"><\/span><b>Sample of a Healthy 3-Day Sweet Potato Diet<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re wondering how to use sweet potatoes for weight loss, here\u2019s a 1,200-calorie 3-day meal plan that shows you how to incorporate this starchy carb into your everyday diet:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_One\"><\/span><b>Day One<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Meal 1 &#8211; Breakfast<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 medium-sized boiled eggs, 3 tbsp guacamole, 1 cup soy milk<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calories: 243, Fats: 14 g, Protein: 17 g, Carbs: 10 g<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Meal 2 &#8211; Chicken <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/stuffed-sweet-potato\/\">stuffed sweet potato<\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/bbq-chicken-stuffed-sweet-potatoes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 sweet potatoes, 3 medium chicken breasts, 2 tbsp avocado oil, 3\/4 cup chicken broth, 8 ounces BBQ sauce, 1\/2 cup red onion, 1\/3 cup chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These ingredients make 4 servings.

These are sure-fire ways to help you lose weight:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prioritize complex carbs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Get rid of cakes, cookies, most morning cereals, and sugar from your diet. Instead, replace them instead with other healthy carbohydrates that are found in oats, brown rice, whole-wheat bread, quinoa, squash, and pumpkin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid sugary drinks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Whether you\u2019re on the 3-day sweet potato diet or not, it\u2019s best to reduce your intake of sodas, sports and energy drinks, fruit-flavored or powdered drinks, and sweetened coffee and tea. They\u2019re all full of empty calories that contribute to weight gain.

A ketogenic diet is a high-fat, very low-carb diet that requires you to remove almost all carbohydrates from your diet and replace them with fat. Sweet potatoes are relatively high in carbs and therefore not considered keto-friendly (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9495970\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Anyone who is considering or already on a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-diet-for-vegetarians\/\">keto diet<\/a> cannot participate in the sweet potato diet. Anyone ignoring this fact will see you \u201ckicked out\u201d of ketosis and derail your weight loss plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Weight_Can_You_Lose_on_a_3-Day_Potato_Diet\"><\/span><b>How Much Weight Can You Lose on a 3-Day Potato Diet?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of weight one can lose on a 3-day potato diet varies depending on factors such as starting weight, metabolism, and adherence to the diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/weight-management\/adult-overweight-obesity\/factors-affecting-weight-health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Typically, individuals can expect to lose between 2 to 5 pounds. This rapid weight loss is primarily due to a significant calorie deficit and water loss rather than substantial fat loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The potato diet involves consuming only plain, boiled potatoes without any additives, which leads to a drastic reduction in calorie intake. While this can jumpstart weight loss, it\u2019s important to understand that such restrictive diets aren\u2019t sustainable in the long term and may not provide all essential nutrients. Therefore, transitioning to a balanced and varied diet after the initial period is essential for maintaining health and continuing weight loss progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Side_Effects_of_Eating_Too_Many_Sweet_Potatoes\"><\/span><b>What Are the Side Effects of Eating Too Many Sweet Potatoes?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side effects of these starchy carbs are quite rare. However, eating too many of these carbs can turn your skin and nails a little orange. Also, people who have a history of kidney stones should avoid having too much of this carbohydrate. It has high oxalate levels, which can contribute to the formation of calcium-oxalate kidney stones (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/kidney-stones\/kidney-stones-food-causes#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Try_the_3-Day_Sweet_Potato_Diet\"><\/span><b>Who Should Try the 3-Day Sweet Potato Diet?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, this eating plan shouldn\u2019t be followed by anyone. There are better ways to lose weight, such as reducing your calorie intake by 500 to 1,000 calories a day by exercising for approximately 30 minutes each day. However, this eating plan could work for people who are carb-cycling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carb-cycling is an incredibly strict high-level nutrition strategy that alternates between high and low intakes of carbohydrates. This eating plan is sometimes followed by athletes and bodybuilders who want to drop body fat quickly and gain more muscle mass before a competition. It could also be used to overcome a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/weight-loss-plateau\/\">weight loss plateau<\/a> or kickstart weight loss, but only under the instructions of a doctor or dietitian (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfit.com\/is-carb-cycling-an-effective-dietary-approach-4175794\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=3_day_sweet_potato_diet\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/29.png\" alt=\"3 day sweet potato diet\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><b>FAQs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_lose_weight_by_only_eating_sweet_potatoes\"><\/span><strong>Can you lose weight by only eating sweet potatoes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can lose weight by only eating sweet potatoes, primarily because they\u2019re low in calories and high in fiber, which can help you feel full for longer periods. Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense and provide <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/13-essential-vitamins\/\">essential vitamins<\/a> such as vitamins A, C, and B6, in addition to minerals such as potassium and manganese. This nutrient profile can support overall health while on a calorie-restricted diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/424496-sweet-potato-and-weight-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, relying solely on sweet potatoes for all your nutritional needs isn\u2019t recommended, as it can lead to deficiencies in other essential nutrients such as protein and healthy fats. For sustainable and healthy weight loss, it\u2019s better to include a variety of foods in your diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_sweet_potatoes_burn_belly_fat\"><\/span><strong>Do sweet potatoes burn belly fat?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweet potatoes don\u2019t specifically target belly fat, as no single food can cause fat to be lost from a specific area of the body. However, they can be part of a healthy diet that supports overall weight loss, which can result in reduced belly fat over time. Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber that helps regulate digestion and maintain satiety, which prevents overeating. Their low glycemic index means they cause a slower rise in blood sugar levels, which can help manage hunger and cravings (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/sweet-potato-glycemic-index\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Incorporating sweet potatoes into a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/balanced-diet\/\">balanced diet<\/a> that includes lean proteins, healthy fats, and other vegetables can help reduce overall body fat, including belly fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_ounces_of_sweet_potatoes_should_I_eat_to_lose_weight\"><\/span><strong>How many ounces of sweet potatoes should I eat to lose weight?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recommended amount of sweet potatoes can vary based on individual dietary needs and weight loss goals, but a common suggestion is to include approximately 4-6 ounces of sweet potatoes in each meal. This portion size provides a moderate amount of calories while delivering a substantial amount of fiber and essential nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a half-cup serving of sweet potatoes contains approximately 124 calories, 29 grams of carbohydrates, and 4 grams of fiber (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/168482\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This balance helps keep you full and satisfied, which makes it easier to adhere to a calorie-controlled diet. To maximize weight loss, it\u2019s important to combine sweet potatoes with other nutrient-dense foods and maintain an overall calorie deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_eat_sweet_potatoes_at_night_for_weight_loss\"><\/span><strong>Can I eat sweet potatoes at night for weight loss?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can eat sweet potatoes at night for weight loss. Eating sweet potatoes in the evening can be beneficial as they\u2019re a healthy source of complex carbohydrates, which can help you feel full and satisfied and reduce the likelihood of late-night snacking. The fiber content in sweet potatoes helps with digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the natural sugars in sweet potatoes can provide a slow and steady release of energy, which prevents spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. This can be particularly helpful for maintaining stable energy levels and avoiding cravings before bedtime. Including sweet potatoes in a balanced dinner with lean proteins and vegetables can support your weight loss goals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=3_day_sweet_potato_diet&quot;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;video autoplay=&quot;autoplay&quot; loop=&quot;loop&quot; muted=&quot;muted&quot; playsinline=&quot;playsinline&quot; width=&quot;777&quot;&gt;&lt;source src=&quot;&quot;https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-1.mp4&quot;&quot; type=&quot;video\/mp4&quot; \/&gt;&lt;\/video&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:256,&quot;11&quot;:3}\" data-sheets-formula=\"=replace(R[-12]C[0],SEARCH(&quot;LINK TO QUIZ&quot;,R[-12]C[0]),LEN(&quot;LINK TO QUIZ&quot;),R8C[0])\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=3_day_sweet_potato_diet\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-1.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the 3-day sweet potato diet a good way to lose weight?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it isn\u2019t.
