Some varieties of oats can lose weight, so which one should we choose when losing weight?

There are oatmeal that is ready to eat with boiling water, oatmeal that needs to be cooked, oatmeal that needs to be cooked, and oatmeal rice that needs to be cooked, and it is best to choose original oatmeal for weight loss.

It is clear that oatmeal is high in calories, so why treat it as a diet food? We checked the calories of oatmeal from the Slim Calorie Lookup Library, and it is indeed higher than rice. But why recommend it? Because oats are rich in dietary fiber, so its dietary fiber content is 12g/100g, and the recommended intake of dietary fiber in China is 25g/day. There is a magic thing in oats:β-glucan. It's super viscous and digests slowly, allowing for a stronger sense of fullness when you eat it.

1. Original oatmeal is best. Oatmeal with various fruit flavors and sweet flavors are not suitable for dieters. If the oatmeal you brew has a sweet taste, it means that most of it has 50% added sugar. That means that half of the oatmeal you buy is actually white sugar! Even with added sugar substitutes, it's not good for health and weight management. The use of sugar substitutes is still controversial among scientists. Some believe that although sugar substitutes are calorie-free, they can also induce cravings for sweets and even affect blood sugar metabolism.

2. Cereal ≠ oatmeal. When choosing oatmeal, look at the packaging and food labels, which are clearly labeled as oatmeal ingredients. Cereal on the market is usually a mixture of many grains, such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, etc.. The oatmeal slices only account for a small portion of them, or even do not contain oatmeal slices at all. Foreign products like to add dried fruits, nut flakes, crushed beans, etc. , while domestic products like to add maltodextrin, sugar, creamer (phytolacca), flavors and so on.

3. Choose the most natural oatmeal. Oatmeal itself is a nutritious staple food, and some merchants will process it into a variety of "high calcium, high iron, high protein..." styles for packaging. Remember, processed foods are usually not as good as natural foods. Natural oatmeal contains 13% to 15% protein, with very high levels of calcium and potassium, very rich in beta-glucan and high in unsaturated fatty acids. Of course, natural oats don't taste as good when cooked. Oatmeal with a rough, sticky texture is good oatmeal. Weight Loss and Nutritional Value:Need to cook > chunky > no-cook. Similarly, processed foods are usually not as tasty as natural foods. Oatmeal that needs to be cooked to be eaten is less processed, and non-cooked is pre-processed with more or less additives, and the nutrients will be lost in large quantities.
