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

[puddlemonkey]

Anyone tried that 'low carb' wheat bread?

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

Steel cut............

You tell him that whole wheat bread is junk, yet you reccommend white rice and white potatoes....LOL.....they are just as bad, if not worse.....whole wheat bread is a fine cars......no hydro. oils.....organic........

i added them at the end of the list, for variety's sake. there have been quite a few discussions on the boards about rice, and the findings have been that white rice is not all that worse than brown rice.

for a diet to be successful, it has to be a lifestyle, that's why the more variety one has with food, the bigger the chances of actually following through.

and whole wheat bread is still worse than both white rice and potatoes, because it is processed.

anyway, that's my opinion. no one has to agree with it.

Check out barley which is a taste of both brown rice and oatmeal. Plus it has the lowest GI of any carb source. This really isnt a factor if your mixing fat protein and carbs though.
steel cut oatmel and regular oatmeal are the same (taste preference) BUT instant oatmeal sucks balls so stay away from it.

WHO COUNTS THE PROTEIN IN OATMEAL?

no one should agree, cause it's not true.......it is true that brown and white rice and somewhat comparable, white is truly the processed carb Id stay away from besides white bread...as for whole wheat bread, MANY are not processed and MANY are a solid carb source..........get the organic and get the stone ground whole wheat............very simple..........

well then, i guess we can agree to disagree on this issue as well as other diet related issues.

 

[JKurz1]

Remind me what we are disagreeing about...........that Whole Wheat bread does NOT have to processed and can be a very healthy carb source? Get a grip bro.....flax, wholemeal, stone ground breads are IDEAL!

i buy some great, unprocessed breads from trader joe's - lots of whole grains, no corn syrups or partially hydrogenated oils. great carb source if you ask me.

stupid question.. just a regular old potato at the store you buy in the bags to make baked potatos and such.. is that considered a white potato? what other kinds of potatos are there? I've heard of the sweet potatos but I'd assume those are no good..

 

[JKurz1]

No stupid ?'s here bro............stick with yams........best potatoe for the buck........
