2. It is generally believed that oats are relatively healthy food, because oats contain more dietary fiber. The dietary fiber content of oats is about 6%-9%, which is much higher than that of ordinary rice or flour. Dietary fiber helps to reduce the absorption of fat in the intestine. Moreover, oats are generally made into oatmeal. After being made into oatmeal, the volume will increase several times, making it easier to feel full, and it is not easy to cause overeating, which also helps to reduce the intake of other high-calorie foods such as meat and fried foods. Therefore, oats are often used as diet foods.

However, oatmeal is also a kind of food containing calories. Every100g of oatmeal contains about 350 kilocalories, which is similar to that of ordinary rice and flour. Therefore, only by eating oatmeal to reduce the intake of other foods with higher calories can we lose weight. If you don't reduce the intake of other high-calorie foods, you won't lose weight.
