You seem to really understand little about diet and nutrition.
You'r beloved whole grain bread, with the big "heart healthy: logo on it is no different than eating raw white table sugar. In fact, in almost every case, it will get into your blood as glucose faster than white table sugar. But don't let facts get in the way of a feel good narrative.

yep. if you double the calories of the potato by adding 100% more calories in fat, it will slow carbohydrate metabolism.
Good news, we know why you're overweight
Bad news, you rationalize eating horribly.
Pro Tip/Newsflash: Doctors don't study nutrition. And doctors have been passing out bad dietary advice (from the American Heart Assn, Diabetes Assn etc) since the 60s which have been the very cause of the obesity problem in the Western world.

Sweet potatoes have less starch but still raise your sugar.

Uhm.... no. They are similar to white potatoes in carbohydrates but more fiber slows their metabolism and thus, htey are lower on the glycemic index than white potatoes which is why athletes eat them.
