2. It is generally believed that oats are relatively healthy food, because oats contain more dietary fiber. The dietary fiber content of oats is about 6%-9%, which is much higher than that of ordinary rice or flour. Dietary fiber helps to reduce the absorption of fat in the intestine. Moreover, oats are generally made into oatmeal, and the volume of oats will increase several times after being made into oatmeal, so it is easier to feel full, and it is not easy to cause overeating, which also helps to reduce the consumption of other high-calorie foods such as meat and fried foods, so oats are often used as diet foods.

3. However, oats are also calorie-containing foods. Every100g of oats contains about 350 kilocalories, which is similar to the calories of ordinary rice and flour. Therefore, only by eating oats to reduce the intake of other foods with higher calories will there be a weight loss effect. If the intake of other foods with higher calories is not reduced, there will be no weight loss effect.
