Calories In Porridge

For years, many weight loss experts, dieticians, doctors and slimming consultants as we have said how Porridge Oats or easily the best option for our breakfast.



While most of us now know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, followed closely by our choice of post-workout nutrition, but why?



Well, you see, porridge oats are what we know as a low glycemic carbohydrate, meaning it enters the bloodstream and is converted into sugar slowly, providing a slow release of energy all day.



I hope you all know packaged breakfast cereals that are so common in many storage are just processed rubbish that I guarantee will make you fat yes even Bran Flakes, All Bran and some are very bad choice

Do not let the fact that they have, "added vitamins and minerals" make you think your morning bowl of cereal is healthy. That's not true!

After being delivered in a paste of mud, grains that have been used to make the flakes that you eat every morning were passed under high pressure and high temperature through a pipe (a process which makes the grains mildly toxic ) before they are sprayed with synthetic chemicals and cut into desired shapes. This process, known as extrusion, virtually eliminates much of what was once nutritious food.

Have you ever wondered why your cornflakes to mush when you leave it too long? Real food does not do that!

So what is the best breakfast?



Well, believe it or not this is a good old omelette! And before you tell me the game are not eggs bad for your cholesterol? line the amount of cholesterol in eggs had no effect on your blood cholesterol. They are a great protein.



Anyway, this is a study to back it up (you know, I love my studies)



This is a study conducted by Dr. David Ludwig at Harvard University, he studied three groups of overweight people. Supply each group with a breakfast and containing the same number of calories. One group ate instant oats; one group ate steel cut oats (the kind that takes 45 minutes to cook), and the third group had a vegetable omelet and fruit.

They then ate a meal at the same meal they had eaten for breakfast, then after lunch, they told us to eat when they were very hungry for the rest of the day. Now, the results here blew me away!



Many of you think that the healthiest meal would have been entitled to oats? It was actually the omelette!



The group who are the instant oatmeal ate 81% more than in the afternoon that the group that had the omelet. Not only they were more hungry, but the group omelette was also lower insulin levels, which means it was the body to burn fat for energy!



The cut oats were slightly better than the moment, the group still ate 51% more food the rest of the day that the group who ate the omelette.



The conclusion here for me is the type of calories and not the amount of calories you eat have a huge impact on how much weight you lose or win, because different types of foods are metabolized in different weighs In short PROTEIN ALWAYS WINS!



Now I am not a supporter of the Atkins diet, which is little or no carbohydrates, but I'm a fan of low carb is fine, if you eat oats, brown rice and your veggies but still eat them with protein
