Did anyone lose weight by eating oats?

I consumed oats 4-5 times weekly from Feb to May. Either for breakfast or for dinner. I was exercising as well. Lost consistently 2-2.5 kg per month. I had mine with 1/2 cup whole milk and one apple.

 

It is advised to consume 35gms oats in one serving.You can have 2 servings per day.I used to have it with curd,a bit of salt and vegetables.

 

Hi,

I am having saffola oats, to reduce weight will be helpful:

I prepare oats by putting 3/4 tbsp oil, add mustard seed, chana dal, udad dal then once they get brownish i add some tomato, capsicum, salt and green chilly, then add some water and 3/4 tea cup of oats then cook it.

Will this help me in lossing weight or i will gain weight with it.

I am having it regularly in the morning as my breakfast with a small cup of skimmed milk (no sugar).

Please suggest if i m wrong or some other quality oats to be used for weight loss.

Thanks,

But jewel , why are you taking oats daily ?

 

Hi,

You may have reached plateau phase. now it will be very very difficult losing weight. You need extremely fluctuating diet and exercise regime.

 

I substitued 2 spoons of oats (one minute quaker oats) instead of rice for my lunch and lost about 6 pounds in 3 weeks. I take same quantity of sambar/dhal/spinanch or other veggies ...just removed rice from lunch. I also walked 3 miles a day (for about 5 days a week). Hopet his helps.

 

i will try this.. i have been eating oats as breakfast but did not find any change in weight.. let me try urs

 

is there any way to make oats tastier?

 

Yes I lost weight but not "by eating oats" but by substituting some other foods with oats. I was 60 kgs and wanted to shed 5 kgs in 5 months (no hurry). I started in an exercise program with weight training, yoga and cardio which toned me, but for weight loss i modified my diet. I achieved my target in 3 months and have since then lost another 2 kgs. I now have oatmeal once a day at lunch instead of dinner.

Breakfast is 2 egg whites and 1 yolk made into an omlette with herbs and veggies (spring onions, mushrooms, tomatoes), and a bowl of bran flakes followed by a fruit an hour later.

Midmorning I have nuts and a glass of spiced buttermilk.

Lunch is masala oats (by Quaker in India) with a handful of beans or sprouts or grilled chicken and some yoghurt.

3 hours later I have some fruit and green tea

Dinner is some protein (dal or chicken/fish), vegetables and one phulka

You have to be super sensible on any diet and it should be monitored by a dietician to make sure you are eating healthy. I have studied nutrition and yet benefited from support by a professional. I am now at 53 kgs and am on a maintenance plan. I do eat out but very sensibly

All the best!!
