Yer i have heard that too, same with special K or All Bran... only problem is i hate them all!!!

i found this really good apple crisp which is like eating a dessert twice a day. its really good. not recommended for everyone though. most people will tire of it. which is what im afraid will happen to me. its worth a try though and its healthy. I did all of my reserch.

I love oatmeal, maybe I'll try it. Cyndi, what do you put in your oatmeal to sweeten it? I have tried splenda and its pretty good.

splenda is good. i am eating the quaker instant oatmeal apple crisp and i honestly don't need any sugar or anything. i suggest you eat two packets each meal which is 300 calories. thats only a total of 900 calories a day. if you make your own oatmeal i guess you can use splenda or brown sugar. Good luck

I get steel cut oatmeal and put splenda in it. Also I put mixed berries in it. I have this everyday... Yummy.

do you think it has helped you to lose weight?

CYNDI,

I think it has... It keeps me full longer and that helps with the munchies. Good luck to you. Tonya

I eat this hot cereal called zoom. It is 100% whole wheat I mix a few tsp. of dried bluberries and a tsp. of splenda It is really good. And it helps keep you regular. I know alot of people who stuggle with weight also struggle with not being able to go. This is just loaded in fiber ad bluberries are so good for you. Plus it does fill you up and keeps you that way!!!

It is true - oatmeal binds to the stomach therefore you will stay full longer and it is also rich in much needed fiber - helps cleans the digestive track. When I first started my diet I started out eating one cup of "plain" cooked oatmeal in the mornings added splenda and some raisins. Also, I always try to drink about 2 liters of water a day w/fresh lemons or lemon juice (no sugar)- lots of water also maintains a feeling of fullness throughout the day.

the water is great for you. you might want to add vitamins if you are going to eat oatmeal for two meals as i am doing. so far ive lost 4 pounds.

I love oatmeal so much I have it for breakfast 5 days a week and as my evening snack 5-7 nights a week.

1/2 cup dry quick oats
1 cup skim milk
equivalent of 1 tsp splenda

with a fresh banana,apple,pear, peach or some berries cut up in it and zapped about 3-4 minutes in the microwave...fabulous!

Sometimes I will use 1 tablespoon peanut butter or some sugar free hershey syrup instead of the fruit.

hmmm....did I mention I love oatmeal? :)

Anyone interested in a crockpot recipe??? I put my oatmeal in at night before I go to be and wake up to it in the morning. It's and awesome recipe and it kinda tastes like Apple Crisp but it's very healthy. If anyone wants the recipe just message me. I just like the fact that I don't have to get up early in the morning to make a healthy breakfast. I've lost 5lbs. already.

I have oatmeal every morning, usually two packs. It does stay with me until lunch unlike cereal and stuff. I am going to try eating it for supper, and see if it helps cut my night time cravings down.

Ive been eating raisin bran when hungry I also bought a big thing of oatmeal. Oatmeal is also good for the heart and reduces cholesterol.
