    I love steel cut oats. I make up a pan full, then just portion it out every day. I add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. Never thought to add in PB2!! I'm gonna have to try that!

    oatmeal is basically a carb food, right? and carbs drive insulin and insulin drives fat.... do the research!

    research also says that we need carbs to live. Carbs are VERY healthy. Just not refined carbs like white bread, etc. research supports it. :)

    I like the steel cut oats. takes a little linger to cook but I love the nutty, chewy texture. I usually make a pot Sunday night, put in frig. and it's ready for several morning meals. I also dress it up with raisins, cinnamon, a packet of Truvia and some Almond milk. Yum Yum!

    dark chocolate oatmeal...only 160 calories got it from this organic store it cost me $1.70

    i found this stuff too! lavish? ate two servings of it before realizing it's got some form of dairy in the chocolate which was why my mouth felt like i'd chewed up a set of razor blades. but it's damn tasty with some strawberries.

    Oatmeal is high carb with not enough fiber or protein to split the difference.
    Plus, nobody eats plain oatmeal, they put other high carb stuff in it so it tastes like dessert.

    Exactly^
    It's just a big bowl of carbs and people add sugar on top of it.

    Over 40 studies show that eating oatmeal may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. According to Quaker, all it takes is 3/4 cup of oatmeal each day to help lower cholesterol. The soluble fiber in oats helps remove LDL or "bad" cholesterol, while maintaining the good cholesterol that your body needs. In January 1997, the Food and Drug Administration announced that oatmeal could carry a label claiming it may reduce the risk of heart disease when combined with a low-fat diet.

    The soluble fiber in oatmeal absorbs a considerable amount of water which significantly slows down your digestive process. This result is that you'll feel full longer, i.e. oatmeal can help you control your weight.
