I’ve been eating healthy for months now and everyone talks about how great oatmeal is. But when I checked the nutrition facts, I was surprised by the amount of carbs in oatmeal. I’m getting tired of having eggs and avocado every morning.
I know these are supposed to be good carbs, not like the empty ones in pasta, but still. I’m considering trying Nature’s Path Organic Optimum Power Blueberry Cinnamon Flax oatmeal, which has 30g of carbs per packet. That seems like a lot! However, it does offer 3g of fiber and 5g of protein.
So, is oatmeal really as good for weight loss as they say? I don’t add any sugar to it, so I’m only concerned about what’s already in the packet.
Yes, studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.
Oatmeal can be your hero! It has fiber (keeps you full) and protein (good for muscles) even though it has carbs. Unlike pasta carbs, these are good carbs that give you lasting energy. Don’t worry about the sugar, oatmeal itself is good for weight loss. Plus, you can add yummy things like berries to make it even tastier!
Hello, Barbara. Muesli is high in beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that forms a gel-like material in the gut. This increases fullness and reduces hunger, resulting in fewer calories consumed.
