Hi onemilimeter,

Based on your threads on London Weight Management, liver biopsy, side-effects of Omega-3 supplements and your diet post, I say that you're one anxious fella.

Try to relax.

Relax.

Relax.

I bet you've been reading the Internet till your eyes bleed. Take a break from it for while and chill. Regarding insulin resistance, dont worry about it so much. I myself have it due to genetic & my previous lifestyle, on meds for it but good God man you need to calm down a bit

Based on your diet posted here, http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry13883658
I say that you have a BIG problem with your eating habit. Switching your rice to quaker oats will only be of little help in the long run if you dont watch other things that you put in your mouth.

For example, you have oats for breakfast. Most of us eat it with honey or fresh milk. You, my fren, opted for powdered milk, milo and sugar. Can you see the problem there?

Oh there's another thing you can do to help lower your insulin resistance risk - exercise. I bet you dont even think of doing it, just want to diet them out. Exercise has more benefits other than weight loss. I'm sure you can read on the Internets for it's benefits

i eat them seperately. oats 1st, after 20-30 minutes then the half cooked eggs

am i reading wrong ??
you throw ur yolks ??

I've been trying to eat OATs to gain weight... not to forget eggs as well.

too much egg yolks raise your cholesterol level

I think consuming more than 1 egg yolk a day makes my tummy bigger...hmmm

Why not take more fruits instead?
And exercise too.

eating oats reduces calestro.. gain weight? I doubt it. My colleague did exactly that for months and not only his calestro came down, he also lost weight.. I gues, loosing weight was the side benefit..

Thanks for your advices. Really appreciate... I did read the Internet till my eyes bleed... Ha Ha!

Ya... I was anxious when found out something wrong might happen to my liver.
Is honey good for people with insulin resistance? I thought honey (something sweet) is not good for diabetic patient or patient with insulin resistance. By the way, what do you mean 'fresh' milk?
I tried to reduce weight (exercise + diet control) last few days and I found it's very difficult. It's really not an easy task...

if you really want to lose weight, be determined. There's no such thing as easy in the world. As for the oats, they will not make you fat. To reduce fat, exercise and eating habit is important. stay healthy~

go to www.menshealth.com to read more about it, lose weight or fitness.

Eating oats =/= weight gain/loss. It's all about quantity. Calories in vs out.

Oat chun sial I tell you, whack everyday it's good for you!

Don't buy those instant oat, get the plain oat or the purple/red packaging. I eat the red packaging oat.

1) Honey? In moderation, yes. But better to avoid. I take oats twice a week with Splenda (sugar subtitute, no cals ) - most of the time I avoid carbs like the plague. No rice, no noodles, no bread.

2) Fresh milk = non powdered milk. A lot of skim milk were powdered first, added water and sold as 'normal milk'. Good fresh milk includes HL, GoodDay, Farmhouse etc

3) It's difficult. Today I did 40mins cardio in the morning and 30 in the evening WITH weights AND diet. Trust me I know how hard it is.

What 'cardio'? Yup it's very hard... it's like 'no meaning' living in the world...
