has anyone tryed the oatmeal diet

If you are going to do this long-term, consider taking a multi-vitamin since you could lack some nutrients. Most important: Diets Don't Work. It is long-term diet changes that will keep that weight off.
Eventually consider a healthy eating plan with fruits and veggies. Water weight loss is common when starting a diet (for the first week or two). I see you just started here today. Log everything and you will succeed (with time).

I eat oatmeal every now and then. After a while though, that gets pretty boring. Depending on how I work out on whatever day it is, sometimes I prefer more protein.

Mixing outs with coffee sounds strangely delicious. I think I'll give that a try.

omg!!!!I can't believe all these haters....

Who are these haters. This is the first post I've seen referencing an "oatmeal diet."

the oatmeal diet is great and perfectly healthy.

What does it involve? Eating only oats?

....I lost 1 pound and have been on it one day, and i didn't even do it right yesterday I ate other stuff besides oatmeal. ..

One day means nothing. Weight fluctuating down a lb in one day is extremely common and says nothing about how well a particular diet plan will work.

I'm fixing that tho today. ...let these haters eat however they want and stay fat.

You think they are fat and will stay fat because they don't think eating only oats is a good idea? Interesting.

yes the oatmeal diet is awesome..love it I am even blending 1/4 cup instant into my coffee in the morning so I kill two birds w one stone...keeps me full and tastes great....this was my own invention and it works perfectly...

What if I like coffee from beans, not instant? Or not mixed with oats -- seems a good way to ruin the coffee experience, to me, but then I don't think of the desire for a good cup of coffee "killing a bird" -- if you don't care for coffee, why consume it?

Anyway, I'm assuming the "haters" (if they exist) were more concerned about the low protein and lack of fat in oats, as well as lack of micros found in a diet diverse with many vegetables and a variety of other foods, and not the fact that oats are also low on caffeine.

No you didn't. That was probably all due to water depletion if it happened at all.
You would need to have had a 3,500 calorie deficit to lose a pound in "one day."

BTW, enjoy the muscle loss and nutritional deficiencies.

At times when I've been sick I wanted only oats. It was weird. Only lasted a couple of days and I had some milk with them and even some protein powder, so eh. Oats are great, but not IMO a good monodiet. But I don't really think any monodiet is great.

I really like adding almond milk or PB2 as well as flax seeds or chia seeds! Sometimes when I don't feel well, all I want is a peanut butter sandwich, so I totally get it!

Yeah, I've added peanut powder and hemp hearts, and they were tasty too.

Coffee and oats mixed. Maybe add a bit of nutrition by adding some frozen Kale?

It's the Big Brother diet
