How oatmeal can help with weight loss

How oatmeal can help with weight loss

Posted by David Nickum Weight Loss

Many of us are trying to lose weight and it isn’t easy. We hit the gym, try the latest workout at home or hire a personal trainer. We work our bodies hard but don’t address the problem which is our diets. Counting calories is a great way to address the problem but it only covers part of the issue. The only problem with counting calories is that it will leave you hungry if you’re not eating the right foods. Oatmeal is a food choice that will help fight hungry and keep you on track with your diet. Here are some reasons how oatmeal can help with weight loss.

High fiber

Oatmeal is high in a soluble fiber called beta-glucan. Beta-glucan helps keep you full longer, reduces LDL cholesterol, good for gut health and stabilizes blood sugar. Oatmeal contains 4 grams of fiber which overs about %15 of your daily requirements. Adding berries and flax seeds to your oats can boost the fiber count even more.

Low calorie

In addition to having high fiber oatmeal is low calorie. One serving of oats is 150 calories which is great for how full oatmeal makes you feel. The reason why oatmeal is low calorie is that it’s low in fat. Food that is high volume low calories is a must when you’re trying to lose weight.

Instant oats

When choosing, oats avoid the instant oatmeal packets. Many instant oats have added sugar which adds calories and spikes blood sugar. Instead of instant oats reach for rolled or steel cut oats which can be made quickly in the microwave.

Key take away

Weight loss isn’t easy and can’t be fixed with exercise and calorie counting alone. Adding foods like oatmeal can help you feel full longer which may tip the scales in your favor keeping your weight loss goals on track.

About David Nickum

David S. Nickum is an inspirational fitness professional with over 10 years in the health and wellness industry. What he brings to any workout program is a deep understanding of anatomy, nutrition, and exercise physiology. His programs are unique, innovative, educational, and customized to get the job done quickly. He is a cutting edge professional who builds a program that fits your individualized goals. Starting out in the field of automotive technology industry, David had a lot of problems with pain in the lower back. This led him to the world of health and wellness. David was tired of getting prescribed pills to address his problems and he knew that physical therapy would only be a short-term fix, so he decided to learn about the human body to fix the problem on his own. Being a musician has helped David to also apply an artistic approach to health and wellness. He always told me; “exercise is an art just as much as a science”, he was right, every human is different and needs an artistic touch to get the most out of a workout. Throughout his career, David has developed a deep understanding about the human body. He started out only knowing the basics. Seven years later he has become a leader in the field of fitness, he designed his own style of training which works on posture, metabolism, pain management, and performance. After working with David my life has never been better, the pain in my body is gone for the first time in 10 years. After only 6 months of training I feel like a new person. I feel and look the best I have in years. He gave me the education and the tools I needed to prevent failure in the future. He gave me a new lease on life and I am thankful for that everyday.
