dono about lose weight. i take 6 full table spoons of quacker oats every morning with 6 eggs its a good source of carbohydrate. fibre

Are you sure SIX (6) eggs every morning?

2 whole eggs 4 egg whites.

Last time i am eating oats+vico/milo for breakfast . Now im eating 2 slice of wholegrain gardenia bread + 1 glass of HL milk for breakfast . Oats start to make me boring ..

how do you pour with the oats?
separuh masak?

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...

If you are keen on quaker oats, check this out...

www.quakerchallenge.com.my

good website!

not sure about weight loss, but my mum's taking it every morning and she says it stays thru lunch.

erm, whats the difference between rolled oats and the normal instant quaker oats? both are oats but maybe there are some nutritional differences....can anyone share their info?

try mixing ur oats with whey protein...it taste great...

The difference between the two,is Rolled Oats is not processed and nutrients are still intact,as compared to Instant Oats. This also makes Rolled oats longer time to cook than instant oats. Between the two,choose rolled oats. This is just like choosing between brown flour (use to make capati etc) and white flour, brown rice and white rice,wholemeal buns and white buns etc.

ohh....atta flour or tepung atta is used to make chapati btw.... and its one of the greatest food:thumbs:

so, it's good to eat chapati then?

not necessarily its good to eat chapati..just that i like to eat chapati...sedap

i've been eating quaker oats (3 tablespoon) + cornflakes + koko crunch + MILK every breakfast for almost 3 months. very tasty. yum yum. lose 3kg too.

Don't mind if I tumpang thread ah..

Is Quaker in M'sia selling any other kinds of oats other than instant and quickcook? I just realized instant oats has a rather high G.I. I went to the Quaker website and found out they sell Old-fashion and steel-cut (Scottish) oats.

So, I went to the supermarket and found out there is only instant and quickcook Where can I buy steel-cut oats?

I don't think oats will help you unless you help yourself.

Am importing them next month. They take 8 hours to cook

8HOURS!!! I'm sure I read a recipe that only takes about an hour to cook


Are they edible raw as in mixed with cold milk? and how much does it cost?

make sure you Youtube it ok.


Syd G

Try organic produce specialty shops

Msian organic produce stores dont hv steel-cut oats.

HOLY 8 hours to cook?. wat the.....

I'll add oat into my morning breakfast REAL soon.

Can I just get the Quaker oat ? hhm I think Instant..ah i'll look around

i saw from bb's forum Pristine oat is pretty good?

If you want to gain the benefit of eating oats,first make sure it's rolled oats. The oat is a health food source, high in fiber, lowers your cholesterol level,so don't spoil it by adding Koko Crunch,white sugar,condense milk etc. If you have to, pure honey is better,adding fruits like raisins, strawberry,kiwi and have it with sugarless soy milk or low fat milk,add cinnamon to taste.

Else, the cholesterol reducing capability of oats have been spoiled by adding Koko Krunch etc,might as well just have Koko Crunch. It's like tea drinking, a very healthy thing to do,the English and the Japanese does it with style,but we here in SEA,ruin it,tainted it,buy adding condensed milk,sugar etc etc.

Giants also stocks 'Rolled Oats',brands like Sanitarium, Quaker etc.
Sanitarium is the maker of Wheatbix - OZ's favorite breakfast.

Dude,

rolled oats != steel cut oats
rolled oats < steel cut oats

Beware too much oats, if you give some oats to snails, they just bloat up and die on the spot.

snails? what's with snails n oats

escargot = snails = tastes great when baked in garlic sauce

yumm

what about oats?

Where did you import the oat from? Expensive boh?

yup it is good for our health and diet
i take it every morning before i went to school..
but ..it is quite disgusting..
hahaha

now,is that disgusting?

Looking at a Nasi Lemak or Roti banjir,now that's disgusting.
Just get Rolled Oats if you can't find Steel Cut Oats here in Malaysia.
Between the 2,it's how you prepare it that makes the real difference.

Else,if you're just too lazy to cook or your momma or 'Neng' won't make it for you,just have 3 Wheetbix biscuit.
Weetbix Origanl Nutrition Information

what is that? you pour it with spice? lol
i always eat plain just like that.....dunno want to eat with what

Chow

why would koko crunch reduce cholesterol? koko crunch has more fiber than cornflakes.
did i say i use white sugar,condense milk? don't like to add extra sugar in my food cos koko krunch can sweeten it up a little. besides that, i don't really have koko crunch everyday. sometimes just oat+cornflakes, cos koko crunch is a LOT MORE EXPENSIVE than cornflakes.

eat with some whey lah

what about eating instant oat with powdered milo fuze? with hot water la of course...
before this I eat with powdered omega 3 milk...taste boring man..

and is it good to take it with powdered milk/milo?

my whey dont mix well with hot water

Chow

then use cold water lah

you use hot water to mix it?
bukan kena guna normal temperature punye ke?

you mean whey @ oats?

oats = hotlah,
whey = cold @ normal temp


Chow

I tried Milo + Oat, ok sial. But damn thick.

ya milo n oat is the best! but never try with whey..

try it man it tastes good

I saw Quaker Rolled Oat in Giant today...

erm.. i always use instant oats ( the red packaging ) just shake it up with some milk and whey... tastes pretty good..

At least, nasi lemak n roti banjir are not as disgusting as bak kut teh, lagi disgusting..

Anyways, last week i went to Midvalley on Friday, there was a health screening expo or something on the 3rd floor at the midvalleys exhibition center. I went there n did a health screening, blood pressure, body fat, weight, height n ect.. Then the expert gave me some advices la dont smoke, dont this, dont that n she also mentioned that, if you wanna eat oat, eat the rolled oat, not instant oat la, quacker oat la.
The rolled oat has more nutrients and better in lowering your cholestrol.
Is this true?

N she told me also , dont have to cook the rolled oat for hours, just pour in the hot water, wait for 5 minutes, n u can eat already, is this true as well?
I afraid sakit perut later.

i am starting to take oat for breakfast...my trainer advice

To be not boring with the oats...i sometime will add banana, sometime use raisins and sometime add in honey...with one scoop of milo....at least it won't taste so dull and plain.....

I just eat plain hot water + 3-4 big table spoon of quacker oat + small tea spoon of sugar ~

Plain oat is hard to swallow. Prefer to add them into hot drink.

I also eat oat + banana + strawberry for my breakfast.. yummy!

I add oats+organic milk powder+raisin

Daily breakfast consumption, mix oat with coffee!

can u cook d oats and then add ice when u want to eat them? meaning eating it cold? i prefer cold stuff le..

I just started to like oat.. i added a little salt and i like it (porridge)

i eat oat + marmite
damn nice ler
