i am indeed referring to them. i know there's some sugar and......whatever else added, but essentialy the oats are still available.

you'd better eat plain regular old fashioned oatmeal
and add cinnamon (with splenda/aspartam if you want)

I haven't eaten much oatmeal, but I think I'm going to start. This is not the first place I've heard people talk highly of oatmal in their diet. Is it that good for losing fat? It's real cheap. I have to give it a shot. I think it has enough fiber in it for me since I don't eat many apples, but I do take a fiber supplement.

Oatmeal is an excellent low glycemic carbohydrate choice....but the instant/flavored varieties (as noted above) contain too many simple sugars - thereby defeating the purpose of ingesting a low glycemic food....

Depending on your goals - you're better off sticking with products where the only ingredient is: oats!!

Old fashioned oats are great, the instant kind have too much sugar. It's my primary carb source when dieting.

Not all of the instant kinds (even in the little packages) have sugar in them. Most "instant" oatmeal is just regular oats that have been rolled longer so they cook faster.
