For those take low fat HL milk, why not taking soya milk instead? U should buy a machine to have homemade soya milk or buy boxes of instant soya milk powder if u dont want to take those in market which is contains sweetness.

I take x brand milk-shake as meal supplimentary. I AM NOT SELLING HERE but Im sharing my happiness. The milk shake is a all-that-i-need for a day and i take it together with soya milk powder. I restrain my desire on food and i loose weight easily.

I started from taking it as snack/supper, later on as one of a meal for the day, but now it is almost the only 3 meals of my days. I have no weight issues anymore

I do regular gym, yoga, swimming constantly. I feel great!

Oats are oats, they have bigger and smaller (mashed version) type. It is all good for diet and digest sys. The way you consume is the trick. U can cook it with sweetened milk, top it with fruits for sweet intake, for salty intake, u can cook it with eggs and menced meat with soy sauce, oyster sauce also can, as long as u like it. this is what i prepare for the kids at home.

But the most healthy way to take, is to take those bigger types, oval shape, bigger ones instead of 'instant' type. Cos the diff of instant or not, simply means u need to cook or not, the cooking time to make it soften and easier to be digest, it doesnt mean the bigger ones are hard to be digest. to cook the bigger ones with water/soy milk/HL milk, is to allow it be absorbed well, if u dont want to cook it, the same result comes out when u pour the same ingredient into a bowl and leave it for half/1hr. Cooking is to speedy up the time for the oats to absorb.

if u r interested i can share more menu/tips on oats

For true high fibre meal, u should eat those dark brown bread which is hard to shallow with nuts... but not sure in Msia got sell or not. Those in Cold Storage/super market claims to be high fibre/wheat are light brown, probably just color, not effective at all...

Thanks Sasha (do you sasha?) Im glad that someone find it useful. I pick any brand in the market, i dont think there is any tricks of consuming the right one, it is raw. I ve been practicing raw food, i avoid fragrant rice, but brown+red rice. For oat,i think it is generally safe and OK for any choices. For those big ones i mentioned, i dont think there are many choices, i found some are from Canada/USA/Mexico, i wont say these are great, but since i dont have many choices for bigger types so i just grab anything within my sight, especially those from these places. If u cant find anything like this and if you are new to oat, please take those instant type as a start.
Even if it is instant, u can still cook it in the way i mentioned, but time in pot has to be less and less water cos it gets messy very quickly. Always add water gradually. Let me know if u need a detailed menu.

I dont pick any of those breads/biscults plastered with words 'high fibre' cos it is like Ribena are 'well-known' for Vit C, but we all know it contains too little to be mentioned about. I dont mean to criticize, I was trying to share that I dont rely fibre from my bread therefore i dont it in my bread. Whenever i go to starbucks/cold storage, i would choose anything in dark brown, some with nuts, some are not. These are 'better' quality in the Fibre and wholemeal reasons. those light brown one i doubt at the quality.
