Flat stomach food guide

Back to oats... actually I like the Marks & Spencer oats. It's a bit more pricey compared to Quaker oats, but somehow don't like the taste and texture of Quaker after trying M&S.


My family and I feel that the M&S oats taste better.

Oh... we add honey to our oats too. Sometimes, for a treat (and if I have the time to buy), will add fresh berries (raspberry/blueberries) or dried cranberry raisins for a chewy texture. :drool:

Happy to see many oat fans here. Rarely meet people who enjoy oats. I take cooked "raw" rolled oats everymorning for breakfast…no milk no sugar no salt. It’s bland but I have gotten used to it. Feel strange if I eat something different now. Started with it to bring down my cholestrol and now "addicted" to it…Cheers to "oat power"!!

Its very interesting to read about goods about oatmeal.


I have never eaten it and thought only these are for my kids.

Anyone swear by it that it actually helps to loose weight?

Hi Lynn2,

I cannot swear whether it can help one lose weight. But for me, personally, because it is a 'filling' breakfast, it prevents me from snacking in between and over-eating during lunch cuz it keeps the hunger pangs at bay

thanks auturmnbronze.


I believe oatmeal is filling.No wonder my children never snack there after.

Erheeeeeemmm, I've been inspired by someone's posting here to go dig out this recipe for healthy Applenut Cookies that I used to bake some time ago. DH used to snack on them as he was studying for his Master's in the wee hours of the night some years back. I will bake this again soon. According to the recipe book, \"these chewy cookies will satisfy a sweet tooth without breaking the rules\"


Thanks sista :celebrate: (pssssst, you know who you are )
