Eating oatmeal to lose weight in recent years is a mess in the weight loss circle. Oatmeal made from oatmeal rolls not only contains most of the nutrients in the original oats, but also is easier to cook and eat, so it is widely welcomed by dieters, especially office workers. However, what many people don't know is that not all oatmeal can lose weight. If you choose the wrong oatmeal or eating method, it may make you fatter and fatter.

Oat drink

Oat drink is a kind of oat drink developed after oat, oatmeal cookies, oat bread and other oat foods. There are two kinds of oat drinks on the market now: cereal drinks and oat milk drinks. The main style of these two oat drinks is that oats are rich in dietary fiber, and milk, fruit and other ingredients are added to make them more nutritious. But you should know that no matter how rich the nutrition is, it is only the existing form of drinks, and the sweetness can not be separated from various auxiliary ingredients such as boiling water, sugar and various additives. Therefore, if you choose this oatmeal drink to supplement dietary fiber for a long time, you will not lose weight, but will get fatter and fatter.

Oat chips

Oat crisp is known as "healthy snack". According to the merchant, oatmeal crisp is rich in nutrition because it contains oatmeal, and more importantly, oatmeal is rich in dietary fiber, which is more suitable for people who lose weight. But is this really the case? Of course not. Oatmeal crisp is just a kind of snack which is labeled as "healthy" because of adding more or less oat ingredients, but it contains a lot of oil and sugar, most of which are hydrogenated vegetable oil and saturated fat. Therefore, people who want to supplement dietary fiber and lose weight by eating oatmeal crisp should stop immediately.

Completely replace the staple food with oats.

Many people think that oats are nutritious and contain a lot of dietary fiber, so oats are the staple food in daily diet, and even if you don't eat other staple foods, it will be more suitable for losing weight. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. Because the calories contained in oats are not low, for example, the calories of 100g rice are about 347 calories, but the energy of 100g oats is about 389 calories, even the oats with the lowest calories are about 367 calories. Therefore, in the diet, when eating pure oats as the staple food, the calories obtained are not low, which is not very beneficial to losing weight, but may make you fatter and fatter.

If you want to lose weight, you should pay attention to the following points when eating oats.

Choose pure oatmeal

When buying oatmeal, you should first look at the ingredient list and choose pure oatmeal. Some oatmeal may contain other ingredients, such as rice, millet and corn. In order to improve the taste of some oatmeal, some additives such as maltodextrin, sugar, creamer (non-dairy creamer) and essence are even added. This kind of oatmeal should be avoided as much as possible. In addition, if you usually have enough cooking time, you can also consider choosing oatmeal.

Dietary balance

The most important premise of losing weight is health, and the key to achieving health lies in balanced diet and nutrition. Therefore, in the daily diet, it is necessary to maintain a balanced dietary structure and not just eat oats. In fact, fresh vegetables and fruits are also important sources of dietary fiber.

Stick to eating oats.

If you want to lose weight by oatmeal, you have to stick to it for a while. That is, eating oats occasionally several times in the diet can not only lose weight, but also achieve the health effects brought by oats. Only by insisting on eating oats in moderation every day and ensuring scientific diet can we complete the "great cause" of losing weight.
