Following up on yesterday's post about satiety, we will discuss oatmeal. According to research in the Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism, those who kick-started their day with a bowl of oatmeal reported feeling less hunger and ate 31% fewer calories at lunch than those who ate the same number of calories in processed cereal. The reason is expected to be the power of soluble fiber in the oatmeal. The soluble fiber basically forms a gel in the stomach to slow down digestion keeping one full longer. If you don't want to sit down to a regular bowl of oatmeal, try adding a little fresh fruit and/or nuts.
