Oats have higher calories (energy) than other cereals, but their carbohydrates (commonly known as "sugar" or "starch") are far lower than other cereals. You know, most modern people eat foods with carbohydrates as the main energy (such as rice, pasta and so on). Because of the unbalanced nutrition, the body will send a signal (appetite) to let you eat more food, so as to get some missing nutrients, leading to excess carbohydrates, which will be converted into fat (energy storage form) in the body. Oat is recognized as the best nutritious grain. Eating oats can not only get the higher energy the human body needs, but also make the body get balanced nutrition and naturally reduce your food intake.

Because of its high fiber content, oats can prolong the retention time of food in the stomach and reduce eating when they feel full (oats have excellent satiety, and satiety index: oats 265, cornflakes 135, pasta 150, brown rice 165, rice 175, etc. The same principle can also be used to control the amount of food eaten at dinner.

Oats are rich in dietary fiber, which is easy to produce satiety. The body also needs more energy when digesting fiber, so energy consumption is also the key to lose weight.

The water-soluble fiber rich in oatmeal can "prevent" the intestine from absorbing too much cholesterol, change the concentration of fatty acids in the blood, and reduce "bad cholesterol" and triglycerides. Daily intake of 5- 10g water-soluble fiber can reduce the absorption rate of "bad" cholesterol by 5%.

Oats are rich in unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid), which can decompose cholesterol in the body, promote lipid metabolism and make subcutaneous fat difficult to accumulate.
