I wonder if we ate Uncle Toby's Oats for breaky lunch and dinner how much weight we would lose?
I'm sure it's helping fill me up and seems low in calories !!
What do people think?

    Well...how many calories of this Uncle Toby are you eating, and what kind of deficit does it put you in?

    Oats for every meal? Nothing else? That sounds absolutely miserable. I'll pass. And your plan shouldn't be to eat the least amount of calories you could possibly survive on - I'd recommend eating at a reasonable deficit and getting a wide variety of food to get all the essential nutrients your body needs to function properly.

    That would depend if your eating at a deficit or not. It would make no difference if u ate all oats or all carrots . It comes down to calories

    :# You would get so sick of it, fall of the wagon, and binge eat...just my guess though...

    You can actually calculate that pretty easily, if you cared to. Then you wouldn't have to do it!

    I think it will be low in protein and you'll lose lots of muscle along with fat, meaning you will have to lose more weight in the long run.

    It would depend on your deficit.

    The more important question is why on earth would you want to?

    Who's we?
    And why would you even want to eat only oatmeal?

    Maybe she's has multiple personalities. Or maybe she's royal.

    But it doesn't run in her blood. That kind of lux just ain't for her - she craves a different kind of buzz (<--oatmeal)

    Right?

    And OP, I did silly things like this when I was in my teens and early 20s, it's a hypothetical question because you're not going to make it to day three.

    You mite want to check into a Paleo Diet and not eat all those carbs. The diet our bodies were designed to eat...caveman style! It's not a diet it's a life style change! Watch the Doc. The Perfect Human Diet
    If we were design to eat wheat, grains, breads, cerals and many other carbs we'd have two stomachs like a cow!!

    Watch the Documentary The Perfect Human Diet! Yes it's been over 10k years since we ate properly and yes they died younger from illnesses, accidents and eaten by other animals. I think we got most of that taken care of. Ask a Cardiologist what they think of the diet. Heart Surgeons are coming out a blaming the high levels of sugars our bodies cannot take care of and it's causing inflammation to your arteries and lets not mention Diabetes! In 1961 they government came out with the stupid food pyramid that was not put together by our health dept. The Government has lied since 1961!

    • I would not ask a Cardiologist about a diet. I'd ask a dietician and I'd look up on research. That's like getting diet advice from Dr Phil lol.
    • Care to link me to a heart surgeon who has said this? I'd love to read an article.

    I don't get diet info from cardiologists ....

    Would you let a foot dr operate on your brain??

    Sugar does not cause diabetes

    If it sounds like I'm pissed your correct! After 4 heart attacks I stopped listening to the gov. and what we are training our dieticians. (Thanks to our Government) And I now have proof that my arteries are improving. Costly when you pay for a heart cath. to find out!

    Phew! It's a great thing you came to the forums when you did. We are all totally in the dark about this documentary - we've never heard of this new, revolutionary "paleo" diet. Please, tell us more.

    Actually, Wikipedia says that the food pyramid was invented by Swedes in 1974.

    And if you look closely at this picture of the Swedish Chef, you will see that there are pyramids with eyes hidden in the steam rising from his ears and the spice labels spell out "jet fuel can't melt steel beams."
