Not likely: No food works on one specific area of fat. Reducing the overall body fat will result in a more uniform shape. Exercise to build muscle mass like yoga or resistance training can help make arms more shapely. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

??: Sweet potato is full of Carbohydrates and I'm not sure how a food packed with Carb can cause weight loss, so the answer is no.
