12 Ideal Food to Include in Your Fat Loss Journey

Great post !! Will be reading this one often.

But have to say, instead of the instant oatmeal, try the gluten free roll oatmeal. I had no dietary reason to use the gluten free other than it was recommended to me as tasty ! And it is !!! All the sticky gluten is gone and you're left with warm fluffy oatmeal that is super filling and helps you make it to lunch with no problems. I use Bob's Red Mill. Hope this helps.

awesome! thanks

Thanks....bump )

My favorite food for health is Oatmeal. Over and over I see a reference to instant or rolled oats as if you had to choose. You don't. I buy Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats. Any oats will do. I mix 1/2 cup dry oats with 1 cup skim milk and microwave for 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Cover it while it cooks. You will need to adjust to your microwave's power. How different is that from "instant".

Over time I have made adjustments to suit my needs and tastes. I now add these ingredients to tweak the taste or nutritional values.

1 Tbs ground flax seed meal- to add a balance of slow carb, fat, and protein and a slightly nutty taste with a boost of fiber. Add before cooking.

1/2 scoop of whey protein powder for a boost of protein that balances the carbs of the oats and thickens the oatmeal. Add after cooking.

1/2 cup of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries for flavor and nutritional benefits. Add after cooking.

ground cinnamon if desired
vanilla extract if desired
Truvia if desired

This will give you a fast delicious bowl of long lasting healthy goodness that needs only a microwave and storage for the milk. Total time required to make it is way less than 5 minutes.

If you want to premix in a baggie, add the dry ingredients including the protein powder and go ahead and cook it all together but stir the powder in well.
