Dieting Tips

Here is another brief diet tip. Funny how small things can add up while we are dieting.

Before you whip up regular potatoes with dinner tonight, why not make sweet potatoes instead? At around 90 calories per half cup, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, antioxidants, and fiber; regular potatoes baked in their skins have almost double the calories and very little beta-carotene. No need to add sugar or a lot of butter to the tasty orange tubers either, because these potatoes are sweet enough! Not bad tasting and what benefits there are for your diet.

Not only are you saving majorly on the calories, but you are also getting fiber, beta-carotene, and antioxidants. These are all important in any diet.
