Can anyone tell me why steel cut oats can have 5 grams of fat? Just askin'. And this is with no additives. Just the oats and water.

    Grains have healthy fats. Refining grains removes ALL the good stuff.

    Just like cholesterol, there are GOOD fats and BAD fats. You can set up your diary to track the good ones

    Mono- and Poly-unsaturated- are GOOD ones

    Saturated- and Trans- are BAD.

    Had some steel cut oats this morning with a tablespoon of Trader Joe's Pumpkin Butter in it and it was delicious!

    This advice from the same groups that us all switch from saturated fat (GOOD, like coconut and palm oil, to transfats like hydrogenated soy found in margarine, just a few years ago)

    I am losing weight like made, my cholesterol is textbook perfect, and I eat a tonne of healthy saturated fat. I do not even trim my beef.

    Blame genetics if you like, but 3 years ago, my results were very different, and I had the same genes.
