Favourite Oatmeal Recipes While Dieting
MY FAVOURITE OATMEAL RECIPES WHILE DIETING
If you know me, you know that I am OBSESSED with oatmeal. Oats are a huge staple in my diet, and an ever bigger staple in my prep. They keep me full, give me a energy source, and conquer my enormous sweet tooth.
Oats also have a LOT of benefits:
- They are a whole grain and packed with fiber. This keeps you full for longer.
- They contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, folate, thiamine, and potassium are just a few!
- There are studies showing they can reduce atherosclerosis and lower cholesterol levels due to their density of vitamins and minerals! They also have anti-inflammatory effects.
- They provide the body with energy, because they are a carbohydrate.
