a SUPER diet of OATS ?

has anybody else heard of this?

i cant remember wheere i saw it. but the general idea was that if you only eat oats for a long period of time, a few months or something, the weight just drops right off of you apparently? is this true?

I'm sure it is true as you wouldn't be getting the right amount of vitamins, nutrients etc.

But the thing you need to bare in mind is it is very bad for you to just eat one thing.

you'd probably get scurvy (yeah just like the pirates) from this diet

Don't do this. It is absolutely absurd. You really think oats contain special goodness that makes you lose fat faster? Oats have a certain amount of fat and carbs in them, and there are many things which have less.

Not to mention if you did this, you'd have many health complications and if you do it for long enough, the guy above is correct.

As Doughnut says, eating just one thing is not good and in my opinion a diet of oats is best left to horses.

Rolled oats my girlfriend says can be made into something called Porridge; which sounds yuk >_<. They also she says can be made into a scrummy cake called Flapjack. Which does contain butter and syrup. Hmm, I don't know about that tbh. But get to begin eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables in a balanced diet of white meat like chicken, drink milk (lovely cool straight out of the fridge!) and have muesli for breakfast,. You can always make your own, even get an easy recipe off google.

Just keep a healthy outlook to your eating and keep out of McDonalds, too.

my mom has been tryin to get me to eat a lot more oatmeal lately..she says its healthier than eating waffles or bacon for breakfast. i actually like some of the flavors she buys..there is a cinnamon one that is so good. but the plain one tastes badddd

its fiber, it makes the food get pushed out faster, it does help loose some weight, but in the end you need exercise as well.

Just for the record - im not planning on just eating oats.
i think they're pretty foul actually ):
