Oatmeal for weight loss

Oatmeal appeared on the territory of our country 1000 years ago. Hearty and low-calorie porridge has become the daily diet for much of the country. Modern scientists have found evidence that oatmeal can help weight loss, improve immunity and promote muscle gain.

How to lose weight on oatmeal

For effective weight loss, the oatmeal diet must be followed by all the rules. Compliance with these rules will not be difficult:

• During cooking porridge from oatmeal, it is better not to add salt, sugar or honey to it. To improve the taste of the product, you can add a little dried fruit, which is beneficial for normal digestion.
• The last meal should be no later than 4 hours before bedtime.
• You need to eat in small portions, but often. This will avoid overeating, while at the same time the person will not remain hungry.
• You should not eat and drink at the same time. The break should be at least half an hour. It is necessary to drink at least two liters of water, unsweetened tea, herbal decoctions or compotes per day.

There are many options for an oatmeal diet. For example, the simplest one involves the use of only oatmeal, boiled in water without sugar or salt. Such food cannot be classified as complete, so it can be adhered to for no longer than three days.

The menu of the oat-fruit diet can be called more diverse, but it cannot be attributed to a balanced menu, since it does not contain the protein necessary for the full functioning of muscle and bone tissue. Therefore, this diet option can be followed for no longer than a week.

The menu for an oat-fruit or oat-vegetable diet is as follows:

• You can have breakfast with oatmeal with the addition of dried fruits and tea.
• Fresh vegetables or fruits are suitable as a snack.
• Only oatmeal is allowed for lunch.
• Second snack includes any fermented milk drink.
• For dinner, you need to cook stewed oatmeal and vegetables or a fruit salad. A glass of tea will complement the meal.
• Before going to bed, you are allowed to drink a glass of milk drink.

Slimming oatmeal scrub

An alternative to the oatmeal diet is to regularly consume a specially prepared oatmeal slimming scrub. Its action is different from that of ordinary oatmeal. The scrub particles capture harmful substances in the intestines and excrete them with feces. As a result, in just a few weeks, the heaviness in the stomach will go away, the state of health will improve, and the weight will decrease by 3-4 kilograms.

Such slow weight loss will allow you to get a lasting result. The kilograms that have gone as a result of regular use of the scrub will not come back. But for the best result, you must gradually switch to proper nutrition and regularly use physical activity.

To prepare a scrub, you will need oatmeal, which must be ground into a powder with a blender or coffee grinder. Next, pour three large tablespoons of the powder with a small amount of boiling water so that the liquid completely covers the oatmeal. After 5 minutes, the scrub is ready to use. You cannot add salt or sweeten the resulting dish. As a last resort, you can put half a small spoonful of natural honey in the oatmeal.

You need to eat this dish warm. About half an hour before this, you need to drink a glass of unsweetened green tea. After another 20 minutes after using the scrub, you can have a snack, for example, rye bread toast with a little butter.

Instead of a warm scrub, you can use a cold one. The recipe for its preparation is somewhat different. A cold scrub should be prepared even in the evening, and you do not need to grind oatmeal flakes. 3 large tablespoons of cereal are poured with a small amount of boiled cooled water and a small spoonful of cream is added. The mixture is placed in the refrigerator overnight, and eaten in the morning. You need to eat the dish slowly, chewing the flakes thoroughly. Otherwise, they will come out undigested and there will be no benefit from this dish. To enhance the taste, you can add a drop of honey or some nuts to the cold scrub.
