I have always liked eating oatmeal, as it is pretty good for you and doesn’t taste too bad either, that is with a little flavoring. I think the ones I usually have a re rolled, I don’t know if I have ever tried steel. I do agree with you those instant packages are usually in very small quantities. But mmm that banana nut oatmeal recipe sure does look good .. in fact I am craving some oatmeal right now after that!
I am eating oatmeal in large quantities about 1 cup blended with milk everyday. I am concern that I am eating it uncooked, straight from Quaker Oats “Old Fashion” variety to the blender. Does any body know if I am reducing the benefits of the oats by doing it this way? or am I adding benefits by eating raw? I liked this way because is easy and fast and easy to commit for everyday use.
Carlos: I cannot really see many drawbacks to eating oatmeal slightly uncooked. On the flip side, there don’t seem to be many more positives from eating it raw either except that it may digest slightly slower. Regardless of whether it is cooked or not, eating oatmeal really helps contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
I went to the doctor last year and was told that my cholesterol was bordering on high. His suggestion was that I add oatmeal to my diet. I did this along with making some other changes such as cutting down my intake of alcohol and trying to be more active. In my recent visit to my doctor my cholesterol was down by 1/3 of what it had previously been. I’m not saying that this was all the result of the oatmeal, but I do think that it was a large contributing factor to the change in my cholesterol. I will continue to eat this daily.
oatmeal is also good for helping you keep warm in the winter.. i also give it to my goats as they are outside in the cold and pregnant… very good to eat before going snowmobiling or anything in cold weather. 🙂
You know, I didn’t used to be a fan of oatmeal, but i have come to like it. Gotta have lots of fruit and stuff mixed in though.

I like oatmeal, because it’s tasty and nutrinous. Beside that oatmeal give very high fibre for my digest.

Have always been a big fan of oatmeal, it is the king of breakfast cereals in my opinion.
