Compound:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats (fine)
• 1/2 cup milk 1.5%
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• a piece of orange or lemon peel
• 1/3 banana
• 1-2 tbsp raisins
• flax seeds or any seeds (sunflower, sesame...)

Oatmeal recipe for weight loss

As you have already noticed, this healthy breakfast includes cinnamon. This is an incredibly healthy seasoning! I advise you to include it in your diet every day. What are the benefits of cinnamon:

1. excellent antioxidant (an important element in the fight against aging, necessary for maintaining beauty and health)
2. reduces “bad” cholesterol levels
3. lowers blood sugar
4. Promotes burning belly fat (!!!) scientifically proven
5. reduces cravings for sweets, particularly sugar
6. has an anti-inflammatory effect

So, let's prepare a healthy breakfast for weight loss every day. Of course, you need to understand that the rest of your diet should also be adjusted if you strive for slimness and a healthy lifestyle.

Place oatmeal in a saucepan. I always use steel-cut oats or a 5-grain mix that comes in boxes (like Uvelka). I don't brew real rolled oats, known as Hercules, this way because they are bitter. It’s better to cook them properly for 15-20 minutes with salt and sugar, then it’s delicious.

Fill with milk and water. You don't have to use milk at all, just water. You can replace regular milk with plant milk (soy, coconut, nut). If there is no 1.5% milk, then I simply dilute 3.2 or 2.5% fat milk in half with water. I don’t like to cook porridge without milk at all.

Add cinnamon and orange or lemon peel.

Bring the porridge to a boil, stirring thoroughly. You can add flax seeds at this point or after the porridge has steeped. Cover with a lid, remove from the stove and let sit for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, you can rinse and pour boiling water over the raisins.

Pour flax seeds into the steamed porridge and mix. I talked a little about the benefits of flaxseed in the recipe for flourless charlotte (link at the end of the recipe). If you don’t have flax seeds, but have other seeds, then add them already in the plate.

Oatmeal: how to choose a healthy product

Store shelves are filled with packages of different types of oatmeal. Cereals differ in appearance, size of flakes and grains, cooking method and time. Main types:

• instant oat flakes do not require heat treatment, or cooking lasts no more than 2 minutes;
• rolled oats - the thickest and largest flakes, require cooking for 10-15 minutes;
• oat groats are flattened whole grains that require a long cooking time, which usually takes about 30-35 minutes.

Instant oat flakes contain the least amount of nutrients and valuable substances. The healthiest cereals are whole grains and rolled oats. They retain the maximum amount of fiber, valuable vitamins and microelements.

How to cook healthy porridge

Dishes made from oatmeal always turn out viscous and slimy. When cooled, the consistency becomes much thicker than after cooking. Basic rules for preparing healthy porridge:

1. Porridge is cooked in water or milk. Cereals are always poured into boiling liquid.
2. For a viscous dish, add at least 150 ml of water per 50 g of cereal.
3. If the dish is not intended for weight loss or cleansing, then salt is added to improve the taste.
4. Refined sugar can be replaced with dried fruits, honey, berries and fresh fruits.
5. Oil sharply increases the calorie content of the dish; you need to add fat in doses.
6. If the dish is prepared in advance, the amount of cereal is reduced by a third.

To preserve the maximum amount of benefits in the dish, you can not heat treat the cereal. Just pour oatmeal into a thermos, add boiling water or milk, and leave for 3 hours. Breakfast is prepared the day before using this method.

Oatmeal for weight loss

Complex carbohydrates contained in oatmeal are digested slowly and prevent blood sugar levels from rising sharply. One serving of the dish will keep the body full for 3-4 hours. At the same time, the energy value of cereals cooked in water or skim milk is only 88-100 kcal.

To lose weight on oatmeal, mono-diets are used, fasting days are carried out, and included in the proper nutrition system. Mono-diets do not require thinking through the menu, you do not need to prepare several different dishes, the set of products is minimal: oatmeal and water. Cinnamon, pepper, and ginger are added to the porridge to taste. A significant disadvantage of such a diet is the difficulty of maintaining it. Not everyone can eat the same food for a week. As with other mono-diets, the weight lost often quickly returns.

It is much healthier to make porridge for your daily breakfast on a proper nutrition system. The dish is complemented with fruits, seeds, and honey. A fasting day with oatmeal is effective and healthy. It helps to cleanse the body, remove excess water, and eliminate 400-800 g of weight.
