Reply To: I Do Not Crunch Everything: The Onboard Diet Thread
Yep, instant oatmeal is heavily preprocessed, and I’m sure the carbohydrates are available much quicker. I found that I began to gain weight when I had cereal for breakfast, so I now lean toward high protein, low fat (but not zero; a little bit curbs your appetite), low carbohydrate, high fiber breakfasts. Since I’m a chocoholic, my breakfast is often homemade, dark hot chocolate made with low fat soy milk. (I have no issues with cow’s milk, but have been using soy these days because it keeps several times longer in the fridge.) YMMV, of course.
