How to eat oatmeal to help you lose weight

While in childhood oatmeal evoked negative associations, nowadays it is one of the most favorite breakfasts. The porridge is quite versatile and can be eaten both sweet and savory, which is one of the reasons why oatmeal never gets boring. It is also important that the combination with oatmeal is also healthy.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you how to eat oatmeal properly. Published on the Eatthis website.

Minimize sugar

It's not a good idea to have sugar in the morning, as it can lead to a glycemic crash. Instead of a spoonful of sugar, it's better to try maple syrup as a natural sweetener.

More fruits and vegetables, please

There is already more than one study that has shown that those who include more fruits and vegetables in their diet are more likely to lose weight. In addition, it is a great way to maintain your health during the cold season. With this in mind, it is recommended to eat about 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And what better way to combine them than with oatmeal – just a fiber combo.

A little protein never hurt anyone

Oats alone are already a good source of protein, but a spoonful of seeds or a handful of nuts will definitely not hurt anyone. They're a perfect addition to your morning plate.

Convenience comes first

Of course, not everyone can stand at the stove for hours and cook oatmeal. So, it's best to choose a method that suits your personal pace of life. A universal option: take just a few minutes in the evening to mix oatmeal with your favorite additives in a jar. In the morning, you just need to put it all in your bag and run about your business.
