Oatmeal Is It The Carb Of Choice While Dieting???

[Texas Ranger]

Guys, do any of you use Oatmeal as your main source of Carbs while dieting? I was thinking of giving it a try because it's cheap, an excellent source of slow burning Carbs, and keeps me full, too. What do you think???

I always start off my day with oatmeal and applesauce. I try and keep carbs minimal after that, not much of any carbs except cottage cheese and a low carb wrap with my tuna.

Is wholewheat bread a good source too?

 

[Millie]

not really. good sources are oatmeal, cream of wheat, yams, brown rice, pumpkin, white rice, white potatoes.

but of all the breads out there, whole wheat is the best. however, avoid it as much as possible.

The only time white potatoes or rice would "possibly" be acceptable is post-workout ONLY. All other times oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and brown rice.

I'll go one step further and say regular oatmeal, not instant.
